Bento boxes are pretty limited dude, they’re basically an American’s range of variety of a dinner plate in Japanese vibes. Korean ban chan style meals have true variety.

Are you talking about bento boxes served in America? I lived in Japan for 5 years and even a 7-11 bento will have 15+ different types of food in them pretty regularly (Salmon, rice, umeboshi, misoshiru, tofu, wakame, burdock root, carrot, salad with a few ingredients, another protein, tsukemono, and nimono (with a few other ingredients). Now if you look a traditional kaiseiki dinner, you're looking at 30+ types of food included. Don't get me wrong, I love ban chan and eat Korean food regularly because of the ban chan included, but bento boxes were pretty much created to serve a lot of different foods in small portions.
