Today’s bento had a definite Shizuoka Summer flavour to it, even if it meant I had to carry three boxes and empty two dressing bottles at the office! LOL.
The Missus prepared “Tchya Soba”/Tea soba noodles from Shibakawa Cho at the foot of Mount Fuji. having boiled and washed them under running cold water, she drained as much as possible before putting them in the box topped withfinely cut “nori”/seaweed.
As for seasoning she had chopped some leek and myoga fine, which I added to the soba before pouring some “tsuyu”/clear cold stock soup (larger bottle) and gently mixing the lot as I ate them.
The other seasoning was “goma tare”/Thick sesame dressing (vert tasty! do try it!) for the salad part:
On a bed of finely chopped vegetables, slices of raw ham, spicy cheese and “candy tomatoes” from Kakegawa City.
For once I noticed that she had not included any dessert. Need I lose weight?
SHIZUOKA GOURMET 
Rowena, the Missus just put everything into a plastic bag after haing wrapped the boxes inside a napkin as I go to work on bicycle.
Those boxes close very tight, but they would not be practical in a ruck sack as they would either take too much width or would stand upside-down.
When it comes to carrying bento on a hike, you had better devise the rice in balls, and put everything into smallish square boxes!

Merci du commentaire que tu as laissé sur mon blog.
S’il m’était possible de tout laisser l’éspace d’une journée, travail, santé et tout ce qui m’encombre l’esprit, c’est avec joie que je le ferai.
Mais je me dit pour me rassurer que les vacances approchent à grands pas, je vais pouvoir faire le vide, et pourquoi pas prendre le vélo^^.
Amicalement.

I was just wondering if the missus puts everything in a large paper sack or do you use one of those velcro fastened coolpaks to tote everything in? Being a hiker I am always looking for something more convenient than simply dumping containers in our backpacks.

Who needs dessert after such a sumptuous lunch, though I would remind you once more of the figs.
