I know this little place...

Okay, quick post this time as I am sitting in the train.

When I watched an anime one time (I think it was Azumanga Daioh) they mentioned the japanese dish called Bento, basically (or at least the way I understand it) it is their equivalent of our packed lunches, except these looks positively stunning.

Therefore I searched for it on the Internet to gain a bit of info on them, but instead of the expected Wiki page as the first result on Google, I got a danish restaurant called Bento, situated in the area called Vesterbro in the central city. I got courious and went for a visit, expecting at least to soak in the exotic atmosphere available in this part of CPH. But what I got was far beyond that. Being welcomed by smiling staff in a traditional yet stylish environment was just the start.

An even better part of it all was, of course, the food. I was daring and tried their ramen with seafood salad, something I would never dare, or want, to eat in a normal restaurant. Purely friggin' genius it was. and cheap too, 85 dkk (a little more than 10 euro) for a dish too large for me to eat, including a pot of japanese tea.

Conclusively, if you are ever in the vicinity of that restaurant (I will post the adress later) or even just in Copenhagen, go and try it, they really deserve it.
