The Obento series is the market-leading Japanese series for Years 7–10 students in Australia. The fifth edition is revised and updated with greater explicit alignment to The Australian Curriculum: Japanese, greater support for the acquisition of Japanese script, streamlined and high-calibre digital content and a more cohesive 7–10 series.

The full-colour student book provides the core language and script and is grounded in communicative methodology.
