Japanese Creator Shares Weekly Bento Prep Featuring Innovative Onigiri and Nutritious Sides

A recent online video by content creator "ミニマムゆうnext" has garnered significant attention, showcasing a meticulously prepared set of five bento boxes designed for a busy week. Titled "70% Motivation: Nutritious Bento Box Preparation with Onigiri & Side Dishes," the video highlights the creator's innovative approach to meal planning, focusing on both nutrition and practicality. The bento boxes feature a variety of onigiri, including salmon and edamame, as well as komatsuna and chirimenjako (small dried sardines) wrapped in shiso leaves or tororo kombu (shredded kelp) instead of traditional nori, a choice the creator attributed to the rising cost of seaweed. Side dishes include mirin-grilled salmon, stuffed bitter gourd, and a hearty hijiki stew. In a lighthearted moment, the creator shared a historical tidbit, noting that hijiki has been consumed since the Jomon and Yayoi periods in Japan, even serving as an offering to gods in the Nara period. Viewers praised the delicious-looking meals and the author's creativity, with one commenter stating, "This is a great variety bento! It's a nutritious bento that will make summer fatigue disappear." Another added, "I can't wait until lunch if these delicious onigiri are inside!" The video offers practical inspiration for healthy and efficient meal preparation.
