Train bento, a convenient food form, is very common in railway systems all over the world, especially in Asia, such as train bento in China and train bento in Japan.
The origin of train bento can be traced back to Japan at the end of 19. At that time, with the development of railway traffic, passengers needed convenient food during the journey, so the railway bureau began to entrust local restaurants or businesses to make food and sell it to passengers. The earliest train lunch was very simple, usually just two rice balls wrapped in bamboo leaves and some side dishes. However, with the passage of time, the variety and quality of train bento have been greatly improved, and now it has become a part of Japanese railway culture.
In Japan, there are many kinds of train lunches with different tastes, and they are very particular about color, fragrance and taste. Some famous Japanese train lunches include squid rice in Hokkaido, eel rice in Hiroshima and fried chicken wings in Nagoya. These box lunches are usually sold at railway stations or platforms, and some express trains are also provided.
