Congratulations to Mt. Fuji in becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site! Wasabi-zuke, shirasu (young sardines), Sakura shrimp, clementines, and tea are all regional specialties of Shizuoka. I wanted to pack lots of Shizuoka's delights into this hearty bento.I used Shizuoka's wasabi-zuke rolled in pork and deep-fried it. They have a rich taste, so are good even after they cool; making them well-suited for bento. Recipe by Asaemon

I'm always rushing in the mornings when I'm preparing our lunchboxes, but I didn't want to depend on frozen food! That's how I came up with this recipe. It's colorful and pleasing to the eye. It turned out to be a life-saver recipe. Go one step further and deep-fry these rolls for a change.The key is to add a few drops of soy sauce into the umeboshi. It adds flavor to the meat. Just add a few drops, or else it'll become too salty.The microwave time is an approximate. It depends on the microwave, so watch the meat and adjust the time. For 2 servings. Recipe by ramutomato

This is our family recipe for shiso-pork rolls!Use melting type or non-melting type cheese, whichever you prefer. However, if the cheese is sticking out from the ends, it will ooze out when you pan fry the rolls, so make sure it's not sticking out when you make the rolls.For small children, use honey-marinated umeboshi. For 4 servings. Recipe by Chisora

I got tons of umeboshi as a gift, and came up with this recipe!Make sure the meat doesn't fall apart when you roll them up. For 2 servings. Recipe by Hoshitosoranodining

I received lots of pork as a gift.If you wrap the meat up this way, it's much faster than making individual wraps and it actually looks nicer too. The flour that's sifted on secures the meat wrap and keeps it from unraveling. For 2 servings. Recipe by Blue-Island

My husband made this along with fried cheese bits. He wasn't too particular about he rolled them up, but the softness and juiciness of the pork worked well anyway. I like this better than round wraps!Super-easy! It's all about wrapping the meat! For 3 to 4 servings. Recipe by Shuukana

I made the usual simmered pork belly cubes (buta no kakuni) with Shinshuu miso from the region I'm from. I used pork from Shinshuu Miyuki pigs.Regarding the squid rolls that I put into the bento - in landlocked Nagano prefecture (formerly the Shinshuu region) we have something called "shio maru ika", which is salt-cured squid. It's a regional speciality that we've had since the olden days, when we couldn't get fresh seafood. The usual way to eat it is to chop it up and mix it with other things.Combine the flavoring ingredients beforehand in a bowl. This makes it easier to work, and the flavors will be right too.By simmering the ingredients with the lid off after cooking them under pressure, the flavors will be distributed evenly.

I decided that I wanted to come up with a recipe with a different from usual texture that would be crispy, plump, and taste delicious all at the same time.In order for the pork to be able to completely cover the filling, make them into thin shapes (about 6cm)You can enjoy the texture of these skewers. Make sure to fry the pork until crispy. For 5 skewers. Recipe by Kantan tenuki mama

This is our family's regular dish.-If the umeboshi is popping out, the chicken will spit when it's being fried. To prevent this, make sure to press it down and dredge well.-The chicken won't cook thoroughly if the oil is too hot. So, make sure it's just the right temperature. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

I love the combination of nori seaweed and cheese.The cheese does come melting out, but just mix it with the sauce. The cheese is savory on its own, but you can adjust the seasonings to taste! For 2-3 servings. Recipe by Karubo-n

Because I had a lot of Japanese leek, I made pork wraps with them.Be careful because it's likely to burn after adding the sauce!Stir-fry over low heat to cook the leek thoroughly. For 1 serving. Recipe by umemodoki

It's hot and humid so I want to eat something refreshing. I used umeboshi because it has anti-microbial qualities.Spread the umeboshi over the inside of the opened chicken. Sandwich some shiso leaves between the pieces if you have any.Season it well with salt. Recipe by Sho-korin
