What great way to incorporate daily life and art inspiration, also am impressed how well behaved the small children were. Just love japan = beautiful amasing wonderland
I'm Japanese,and I have two children. I think making BENTO is a good chance to show my love to them. I wish they remember my BENTO and my love when they grow up.
Oh I really wanna do these awesome lunchboxes for my daughter when she goes to school ^-^ Maybe not the faces, but definately the cartoon characters and fun shapes! Thank you for sharing this creative look into another culture!
My mother works full time but she always got up early in the morning to make me and my brother bentos every day. I had the pleasure of eating it everyday in America, among a sea of plain sandwiches and burgers the other kids ate. I love my mom.
This video reminded me of when I was at the age of 5 or 6 when my mother made me cool bento everyday, but nearly 40 years later it looks the quality of Bento shown in this vide is much more innovative. Good to see Pokemon in it :)
I just cannot understand why some people here think the presenter is being disrespectful, he admires the lunch boxes, is only asking what is that for benefit of viewer so mum describes picture, I thought it was a charming presentation.
In the US, Moms (or Dads) hurry thier little ones into the SUV to hurry to the Starbucks (while on thier cellphones) for cofffe and hurry to the roundabout (still on the cell) at school where they slow only enough to push the kid(s) out where they will enjoy the sodium filled breakfast and lunch served by a Union staffer and provided by the Government. Children are the most important thing in ones life and a parent should take advanatage of every moment.
十代だけどこういうお弁当見たことないなあ。小さい子がいる家ではやってるのかな。それにしてもすごい！ translate>>i've never seen bentou like this although i'm japanese teenager. maybe it's popular among mothers (and fathers) who have small child. just amazing!
My wife gets up at 5am when the kids have obento lunches...it takes best part of 2 hours to produce. These meals are not made everyday but for special events at school when there is no school lunch.
For my daughter's elementary school sports day, excursion or other events that need homemade lunch, it's my duty to make bento. My daughter can not live anymore without seasoning of father. Ah, when her mother was cooking, also my daughter praises work of her mother of course. But I can say with confidence that I'm the best cook in my family. My daughter ten years old always says, "dad, you are really a professional!". By the way, I don't make character bento.
With fast food becoming as ubiquitous as it is in the west, perhaps these mums want to address it before it becomes an problem for these lovely kids? They know exactly what their kids are eating at lunchtime. It's a Truly fantastic culture that devotes its time towards its next generation, sowing the seeds of a lifetime of fun with food
My daughter lives in Zushi near Ikego Housing Area and Navy Annex.She is 29 and have three children.All elementary and kindergarten are in walking distance of each house.A wife of US navy's civilian employee sends a child to my daughter's also.They are all housewives and enough time to make lunch box or obento. It seems working mothers may have tough time for children.
When I was a child, such culture did not exist. The latest mother is busy from a morning. If a child is glad, although I will be fortunate, because there are also many mothers who are working. However, mother is dexterous. Totoro is like an art. 私が子供の頃はこういう文化はなかった。 最近の母親は朝から忙しいな。子供が喜べば幸せだろう、だけど、仕事してる母親も多いから。 しかしお母さん達は器用だ。トトロは芸術だな。
I'm from Canada and if I have to chose to live in the us or Japan, I would definitely pick Japan. I hear of their technology,trains and even toilets! I hear that u can just leave your stuff outside and when you come back its still there, now u can't do that it new your or the us at all! Ugh I wish I was Japanese.
How fantastic. It's a great idea and I don't believe it's that time consuming once you get used to it. Japanese rice is like playdough anyway. You can make any shape out of it. It's more a case of being creative. When you're in a hurry, trying to get ready in the morning, it's probably hard to stop and think of "cute" things to create. If you do manage, I'm sure it's quite therapeutic.
Actually the ones I got were about right.. from what i seen in Japanese Drama anyways.. unless Japanese Dramas exaggerate that too a bit.. The child ones are two sizes.. one is a smaller size which would be about a normal child size in Japan and the other is a two story one ALSO said to be child size but I would class it as Adult size.. I have seen actual bento as i know ppl from Japan.. also I know a lot of them are quite large.. but the ones I found in Target are pretty similar..
Uh ima just go and pack my bag and get a ticket to Japan! Like those kids have better lunches then me all I get is a soggy bread with jam in a zip lock bag lmao like hello Japan
that is so cute.... wish western moms could have the time to do this for their kids every morning... instead we race off to work as we rush out the kids which leaves us no time to show our little loved ones how special they are to us.
Granted I have only ever saw this type ONCE and got both the smaller one and the bigger two story one that came with matching utencils.. The ones said to be adult size ones are quite a bit larger.. I only picked up the ones that were pretty identical in size to a child one and Adult one that I had seen .. granted they were both labeled as child ones.. But I don't mind my lunch box having cute turtles all over it lmao..
+Jesse Chronicles Even looks like an ordinary sandwich to you. Look closely, it is more likely fried pork cutlet or Korokke which consist of potato, onion, ground beef and fried that many Japanese kids love. Some kids prefer bread instead of rice sometimes and likely kids requested their mother to make sandwich instead of normal bento. Beware, it is not like peanut butter sandwich that you probably imagine. It looks to me a homemade sandwich with vegetables are also in this sandwich. My wife used make Bento for our son (he is all grown now) and she enjoyed making it everyday. She loves to hear my son's feed back about how good it was. She used to tell me this when I get home from work with a big smile on her face.
+Jesse Chronicles I am not saying you are wrong about sandwiches. But, what I am saying to you is not like an ordinary sandwiches that you normally get for lunch in the U.S.. (Definitely not peanut/jam) Just google it for Japanese sandwiches and you will see what I am talking about. I am Japanese but, spent my teenage life to early adulthood in the U.S. so I understand the differences of life style between two countries. I think the U.S. women are much more independent than Japanese women. You can find more moms having professional career than Japanese women. The most of Japanese moms who works are part timers and not full time workers which gives them time to do other things like making lunch boxes for kids. If you work full time, you really don't have time to do so even you want to make nice lunch box for their children. Like you mentioned, culture and history are away different which has a lot to do with it as well. Not to offend your history nor culture but, Onigiri (rice ball) has longer history than your country. Our culture is more than a few thousand years vs a few hundred years with many races with different back ground and still many races with different back ground are moving into your country. With longer history and culture, something comes more natural of doing everyday things. But, love for their children are all same. For Bento, yes, I love the way Japanese moms take care of their children. However, there are many other things are much better in the U.S..
I wish I had the patience to make myself lunch like that. xD The food at my school is gross, moldy packaged fruit, soggy breads that have a weird odor, stale meats and juice that has expired. I end up taking cup of noodle to school for lunch everyday instead.
:F they have Bento boxes here in America too now x3.. I have gotten two of them from target.. one for little kids and one for bigger kids or adults maybe.. I have never thought I would see them here.. They are getting quite popular.. I seen one actually labeled as Bento at walmart. It was like tupperware type.. for adults or older kids I think... I think they are quite nice and a great Idea. I don't have kids but I'd make my kids bento look nice :).. But then I like showing my love :3..
こういう手の込んだキャラ弁は自分が子供の頃にはなかったけど、それでも十分母親の愛情が伝わってくるいい弁当だったよ。いつの時代も母親は弁当に苦労して、弁当に愛情を込めてくれるんだ
ここまで凄いのなかったけど タコさんウインナーがお弁当に入っているだけでテンション上がった記憶がある。自分は『あれ入れてこれ入れて」ってうるさい子供だったけど、出来合いのものでなく、あるものだけでバランスよく作ってくれた母に感謝してる。
僕のお弁当はいつも茶色一色みたいなお弁当だったけど、朝早く起きて七人分の朝ごはん、おばあちゃんの昼食と四人分の弁当、七人分の夕食、おじいちゃんは胃が弱いから毎食みんなと違うメニューを作ってた母親には本当に感謝してます。
もっと綺麗でおいしい弁当作ってなんていってたあの時の自分を思いっきりぶん殴りたいです・・・
MrGeneralpooh 🌸❤️♥️🇯🇵
Japan is the best country with the best people in the world.
I am American and live in Japan these dishes taste so great!! The designs and everything is perfect!
been here in Tokyo for a year. one thing that always amaze me is that how well behave little kids in here !!
日本人ですが、こんな可愛らしいお弁当は作ってもらったことはないです・・。でも、一生懸命朝早くに起きて、お母さんが作ってくれたお弁当には愛情が沢山詰まっていました。あまり料理が上手ではない母でしたが・・感謝しています。
イギリス人として、こういうの毎日で頑張っている母が尊敬します。国は夫々なんですけれども、他の国より日本の食文化は世界で一番だと思います。
（イギリス食もマジで美味しいんですけど！）
でも、シェフィールドのホテルで食べたフィッシュ＆チップスは最悪でした。その後ブラックプールの海岸沿いにある店で、やっとまともなフィッシュ＆チップスに出会えましたが。
@@adjust_fit_0075 専門店じゃないと大抵の場合は微妙ですよねえフィッシュ&チップスは。
Japanese children are honestly the cutest children in the world
Overwhelmed by cuteness.
i want to see more documentary like this. japan is really civilized matured nation.
What great way to incorporate daily life and art inspiration, also am impressed how well behaved the small children were.
Just love japan = beautiful amasing wonderland
I'm Japanese,and I have two children. I think making BENTO is a good chance to show my love to them. I wish they remember my BENTO and my love when they grow up.
The kids are so cute.
+winterwolf211 do you think so?

im going to japan when I get older, I love it. cut lunches, candy kits, little cute kids. :)
I like how some of the kids are poking fun at the dude, and how some kids are just staring at him/camera with a "wtf is going on?" face.
japanese kids r so CUTE!!
This video reminded me of when I was at the age of 5 or 6 when my mother made me cool bento everyday, but nearly 40 years later it looks the quality of Bento shown in this vide is much more innovative. Good to see Pokemon in it :)
それよりも奥様方がさらっと英語で受け答えしてることの方にビックリ。
More than that, I was surprised that Japan's mothers are speaking English naturally!
俺が小さい時はこんな可愛い弁当は無かったなあ…
I just cannot understand why some people here think the presenter is being disrespectful, he admires the lunch boxes, is only asking what is that for benefit of viewer so mum describes picture, I thought it was a charming presentation.
Love Japan a lot. Can't wait to visit Hitachi Park next year.
隣の子のお弁当見て、カラフルで可愛らしいのだと、羨ましく思ったなあ。うちのは何だか、いつも田舎風ｗだったもので。それでも、母に感謝ですね。
I super like it!
Damn they live the life
I know right wish I was Japanese. I don't even get that good of a dinner a red lobster. like damn can I get a bento over here.
***** of course,in office the employee have lunch box too
1:25, the awkward moment where two kids are eating some sort of bread or sandwich.
How is that awkward? I ate pb&j sandwiches all the time at elementary school.
Sunny Deyz I only drank water XD
Christopher Darell You weren't afraid of your stomach growling?
nope
Christopher Darell
you parents dint love you enough to make you lunch everyday? :P

just amazing!
I like Japan even their foods are cute . Everything are cute in Japan !!
I think I'm going to make all my lunches like that from now on.
お母さんたち、強い、根性ある。あんなお弁当、食べたいよ～。
The amnazing fact is that it do exist mother whose time is destinated just to create those lunch dishes
That Totoro rice meal though!
My mom is a doctor, she wakes up at 6 a.m. and comes back home at 8:30 p.m. She wouldn't have the time even if she wanted.
幼稚園の生徒さん達とつてもかわいいですね。
My wife gets up at 5am when the kids have obento lunches...it takes best part of 2 hours to produce. These meals are not made everyday but for special events at school when there is no school lunch.
when I was younger my mum made my lunch, just a sandwhich, mike and veggies or fruit. But I wish that I live in japan.
Dang. These must take FOREVER. Or just everyone in japan is artistic.
Michel Jackson is amazing!
This is why imo asian kids are the cutest. They all look like chibi characters
The BBC has nearly everything imaginable in the way of programming.
共働きでお母さんは家を早朝4時に出るけど毎回お弁当を作ってくれた。凄く感謝してる(´` *)
"who's is this white man? I feel scared, let me eat my food in peace"
If I had a good-looking bento like that I don't want to ruin it by eating it.
As eat without leaving
As eat of enjoy
Lunch box full of love of parents
I'd like really to become a teacher in Japan =D

they get fed better than me at school

is there a tapescript available? The english subtitels are not sufficient. And I can't copy them, I need them for school. Can someone help me?

Wow here in American schools feed us tasteless disgusting and deformed food that's supposed to be healty
I'm Japanese
I was surprised that mothers in this video was speaking English
They looks educated at least for me
+1998perfume
I guess they are Christian.
Japanese Christian tend to learn English in University.
All japanese shoud study english conversation in these internationalised era .
I don’t think so. When All Japanese people start speaking English, we are losing our greatest culture which is Japanese.
How fantastic. It's a great idea and I don't believe it's that time consuming once you get used to it. Japanese rice is like playdough anyway. You can make any shape out of it. It's more a case of being creative.

:) so cute.. i wish my mum had put this much effort into my lunches in primary school :(
Japanese culture truely is amazing..!
Sorry mom, your sandwiches and apples don't impress me any more.
omg they're so cute !
キャラ弁ではない彩りが綺麗で栄養バランスのよい手作りお弁当も取り上げてほしい

キャラ弁教室のお母さんで二人も英語が話せるなんてすごい。
日本人の９割は英語を話せないというのに・・・
Ok so I can make my kids two rice balls and decorate it n it's that easy lol
Uh ima just go and pack my bag and get a ticket to Japan! Like those kids have better lunches then me all I get is a soggy bread with jam in a zip lock bag lmao like hello

At least you're quick on the uptake.

so cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
まさかニュースでもしずくちゃんOP流したのかｗｗ
I KNOW!!
that is so cute.... wish western moms could have the time to do this for their kids every morning... instead we race off to work as we rush out the kids which leaves us no time to show our little loved ones how special they are to us.
子供は味が淡白なキャラ弁より、子供が大好きおかず入れた方が喜ぶだろう。親のエゴだ
One of the reasons why Japan is so great!
Wow what talent knowing all those not living under a rock and seeing if they know what a playstation controller is?
プレステのコントローラーすごいなｗ
aawwwwee the kids are so cute >w
Everything is cute in Japan

I so wanna go to her bento classes T^T
The poor bastard between 1:25 and 1:30 got a wrapped sandwich.
