If you want a kid to eat a bento, making it shaped like a train and fill it with meaty goodness is the way to do it. I’d get that one just for the train to keep as a souvenir It’s great they have several bentos from Tohoku for the journey, to give you a taste of where you’re heading. The attention to detail in these bentos is one to admire. Making the ginger shaped like sakura is a nice touch. And the fact the crew were holding a “Have a nice trip” banner is proof of how great Japanese hospitality is. They really care about satisfying their consumers

I did see a few Halal certified bento so it is definitely on the rise, esp with the increase in tourism but without tourists, there's not much incentive. Perhaps when tourism restarts.
