Drink Vending Machines
Ok this I had to add because I just love it and wish it existed in the US. There are drink vending machines like this everywhere - with so many choices - even coffee drinks.
Bento
Bento are portable meals packaged into containers with compartments. They are mainly of the homemade variety for business people or kid's school lunches but you can also purchase them at convenience stores (especially in train stations). There is an art to Bento preparation (like knowing which vegetables have anti-microbial qualities to keep the lunch fresh) and an entire industry of Bento cooking tools and Bento lunch box varieties. This particular bento is one that I enjoyed on the train ride from Tokyo to Koyasan. It was all delicious except the squid tentacle which I left alone.
