According to a survey conducted in March 2024 in Japan, the majority of respondents of all age groups were not convinced that it was a lack of effort if frozen food was included in a bento. This opinion was particularly shared among people in their twenties, with around 95 percent not considering it a shortcut.
O-bento refers to packed lunches in Japan. While they used to be mainly home cooked meals in the past, packed lunches have become a major segment in the convenience food sector.
