    I think a lot of the appeal is the visual presentation, the convenience of taking the bento on the go, and the seemingly infinite different types of food that could be included in them. This looked so delicious!
    GET SOME!

    You are such a joy to watch! I play this game where I try to guess which noise you're going to make when you take a bite, the yummy noise, the spicy cough and so one. The super cold noise from the kiwi was a new one! Thanks for making these videos, they brighten my days!
