Hi, Bob !

Hello from a sunny GOOD MORNING in the midst of the rainy season in Tokyo !

If you guests are from a Japanese community or from Japan, maybe you could
treat them with lunch boxes made of alminum or plastic or in lacquer.

You can get more information about traditional lunch boxes from the
Japanese American National Museum in LA.

Best wishes for your lunch !
