Bento is something you'd typically prepare at home. That meal is elaborate because they made it so.
That’s the culture, though. Most student bring a lunch from home even throughout middle and high school.
What schools offer for students that don’t are usually bread items - sandwiches or pita-like items with various food stuffed inside (noodles, custard, curry, pork cutlets…) They’re usually big and on par with what Japanese convenience stores sell… which is far better than convenience store food in any other country.
7/11 food in Japan was insanely good when I was there a year ago. And it looked like they would put fresh food out every couple of hours.
i find it cute that making someone bento is often a traditional part of courtship in anime. i hope they also do this IRL, because it's very wholesome.
