| I love this book. That said, I only actually bought it because I knew there were a few good asian market groceries in my city, so I was confident that I could find things that I needed. It's a surprisingly thin book, but packed with huge color photos and visual instructions so I find it a lot more useful than some of my text-book-size cook books. And the one last annoying thing, that I've discovered in this book (and several other "bento" cookbooks") is that the recipes make single servings. I double or triple most recipes just because I cook for more than one person, and even if I'm the only one eating it, i'd like to at least have left-overs so I don't have to cook again for every single meal. |

| I have yet to make a single recipe from this book. I live in a small town in the Southeastern United States, and these ingredients are simply not to be found. What a shame! |

| I bought this to go along with the Mr. Bento lunch jar I bought. I was a little disappointed the recipes were not using common ingredients you would find in a normal grocery store. Some of the recipes looked good, and some were simple enough, but honestly dont think I will try any of them. I was looking for new luch ideas to take to work, and this wasnt what I wanted. |

| for those who are dissapointed in the book containing items not familar to their corner grocery stores, may i point out that the book is titled "Japanese" meals on the go? i personally LOVE that there are uncommon ingredients in the book. with the internet and growing popularity of specialty foods available in stores, the ingredients really aren't that hard to come by. i enjoy trying new things, and this book has plenty of recipes that i haven't had before. the photographs are of a very good quality, and the simplified recipes don't bore you with how to boil rice or slice a vegetable (that's what basic betty crocker's cook books are for). overall, i would highly recommend this book to those with moderate experience in the kitchen =) |

| I purchased this book to give me some new ideas to make lunches as well as dinners. The main problem I have with it, is there are ingredients that I have no idea what they are. At the end there is a description of some but not all that are mentioned. This book could really use a glossary. The pictures make the food look very appetizing and my son wanted immediately to try some things. But I have to research what I can subistitute with things that I can find and know what they are. |
