bento boxes
Sectioned meal containers
Bento boxes are compartmentalized containers for packed meals, originally Japanese.
The divided sections keep foods separate—rice in one compartment, pickled vegetables in another, protein in a third.
The format has spread globally, appearing in lunch containers, takeout packaging, and children's lunchboxes.
