n. a Japanese takeaway lunch served in a box
Wikipedia
is a single-portion takeout or home-packed meal common in Japanese cuisine. A traditional bento holds rice, fish or meat, with pickled or cooked vegetables, usually in a box-shaped container. Containers range from disposable mass produced to hand crafted lacquerware. Bentos are readily available in many places throughout Japan, including convenience stores, , railway stations, and department stores. However, Japanese homemakers often spend time and energy on a carefully prepared lunch box for their spouse, child, or themselves.
Bentos can be elaborately arranged in a style called " kyaraben" ("character bento"). Kyaraben are typically decorated to look like popular characters from Japanese animation ( anime), comic books ( manga), or video games. Another popular bento style is "oekakiben" or "picture bento". This is decorated to look like people, animals, buildings and monuments, or items such as flowers and plants. Contests are often held where bento arrangers compete for the most aesthetically pleasing arrangements.
There are similar forms of boxed lunches in Asian countries including the Philippines (Baon), Korea (Dosirak), Taiwan (Biandang), and India ( Tiffin). Also, Hawaiian culture has adopted localized versions of bento featuring local tastes after over a century of Japanese influence in the islands.

FileMaker announced on July 31, 2013 that it would discontinue Bento on September 30, 2013.
