Japanese Single Father's Creative "Tobibako" Bento Inspires Daily Meal Prep

TOKYO – A heartwarming video shared online by a Japanese single father, known as ヤギ(VLOG) (yagi1119), is gaining traction for its unique approach to daily meal preparation. The video, uploaded on June 11, 2025, showcases the father meticulously crafting a bento box for his high school child, using a distinctive 'tobibako' (vaulting box) shaped container. The father begins by filling the bento with mixed rice, followed by a neatly rolled omelet, prepared with dashi, mayonnaise, and sugar. He then fries sausages, adding a touch of ketchup for flavor. Completing the meal, he includes a cream cheese-flavored Imagawayaki and a fresh mini tomato, ensuring the bento remains cool with strategically placed ice packs. Adding a charming element to the domestic scene, the family cat, Crown-kun, makes several appearances, seemingly observing the morning preparations. The video, which highlights the father's dedication to providing a wholesome and creative meal, resonates with viewers, demonstrating the thoughtful efforts behind everyday family life.
