Too much fun in Japantown!

[dreamshark]

Visited my daughter in San Jose and took a day trip to Japantown in San Francisco. By the time my family dragged me away I had bought 14 bento boxes, 4 carrying bags, 2 furoshiki and a few random accessories. So now I have a reason to take pictures of my lunches again. Most of the bento boxes I bought were of the $1.50 variety (and I've already given away 7 of them) but I got a couple of classy ones from fancier gift shops. This is the best one (anyway, the most expensive) - a fully microwavable 2-tier Kotobuki with a dragon tattoo.
This is the first long thin box I've bought. It's great for stripes of contrasting colors and textures. And it's nice to have a box that is clearly made for microwaving (notice the steam valve in the inner seal for the top tier?)

	Kotobuki Dragon Box - Maiden Voyage (Dec 2, 2010) Top Tier: leftover stir-fry with cottage cheese and olives. Bottom Tier: spinach salad with smoked salmon, roast turkey breast, piquante peppers stuffed with sour cream, a little grated carrot.
	Chinese leftovers in Dragon Box (Dec 5, 2010) Top Tier: Sesame chicken w/ broccoli, white rice, and some leftover stir-fry. Bottom Tier: half a coconut tart from Dim Sum, clementine sections, pomegranate seeds, almonds. Yogurt in the small container.
