My Trip To Japan: Shinkansen Bento #1

One of my vacation highlights was riding the Shinkansen high speed trains. I always bought a bento whenever I caught a morning train. They look delicious but in reality not everything in the bento has much taste. I never had anything that tasted bad, but several items just had no taste.

There were usually several bento stores at each train station. So, you had to choose from probably 100 different bento. It was never easy for me. I'm sure that I would have a few favorites if I lived in Japan. The bentos tend to feature seasonal foods from the area. They tell me that people love to travel on the trains in order to taste all of the various bentos from across Japan.
