Nishijin Bento
/ ￥2,800
The rid of this bento box was made of Nishijin brocade cloth which is designated as one of Japan’s traditional crafts. What it great about this bento box is that you can make it smaller after having your lunch. When you finish your meal, please flip over the second layer of the bento box. The bottom of the bento box fits into the second layer of the bento box and it becomes smaller.

Kokeshi Bento
/ ￥1,730
Aren’t they so pretty? Not only are they cute but also functional and innovative. If you take off the hat of the bento box, it can be a soup bowl. Under the soup bowl, there are two boxes to put dishes. There are two sizes of the bento boxes and if you would like to put some salad and pasta, for instance, we recommend that you choose bigger size of the bento box. You may get all the attention from your friends if you use this pretty and functional bento box!

Magewappa (600ml)
/ ￥6,200
This bento box is called “Magewappa”, the circular wooden bento box. It is also regarded as one of Japan’s traditional crafts. If you put your dishes in this lunch box, your meal looks more attractive and it also keeps your meal fresh as the wood absorbs moisture. You may think that it probably is difficult to keep it in the good condition, but it actually is easy to clean. Please use a detergent and wash it. It may also be a good souvenir to bring back to your country!
