Grab a lunchtime bento box at Canberra's Japanese restaurants
If you're heading out for lunch at Canberra's Japanese restaurants, there's plenty to choose from. And if you fancy a mixture of delicacies rather than just one, why not try a bento box? Believed to have been around in Japan since at least the 13th century, this lunchtime treat is still popular today. With different compartments full of vegetables, meat or fish and rice or noodles, these packed boxes make ideal lunchtime options. Down at Bon Kura Japanese Cuisine on Woolley Street in Dickson, you can choose a bento box with a variety of different fillings including sweet soy sauce teriyaki chicken, oyakodon (egg and chicken) or even grilled unagi (freshwater eel).
