  I have been interested in bento for a long time. How would you get started making bento? Where is a good place to buy bento boxes? Any helpful info will be nice.
  
  Thanks.

  I have made a bento lunch only one time. In it I made a California Sushi Roll, Black Tea Eggs, and a Mango Salad that was unbelievable.
  
  I had found a few very simple recipies on this page:

  And I'm so thankful for that site, being a beginner at making Japanese cuisine of any kind!
  
  By the way, I've been so curious for a long while about this: Very often I see images of what looks like a grilled fish as a main dish served for breakfast. What kind of fish is usually used for breakfast, and how exactly is it prepared and/or cooked? Does anyone know? I'd greatly appreciate it!
