I make bento every day. I made this bento keeping the balance of 5 flavors (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami) as well as color in mind.

I recommend using a good tasting salt to sprinkle on the fried lotus root.

With the lotus root as the main component, add shreded cabbage and cherry tomatoes, bite sized koya dofu (freeze-dried tofu) simmered in dashi stock, sliced fresh radish, and sweet-sour pickled vegetables to the bento. Recipe by kachimachi
