Made In Japan

Our bento boxes are sourced from Japan. They have been designed and crafted with high quality materials by skilled 'shokunin' (craftsmen), with most designs finished by hand painting/coating. This results in slight variations of the aesthetic of each and every bento box, adding a touch of uniqueness, and resulting in beautiful and reliable items that you have come to expect from the land of the rising sun.

Reusable

Using disposable containers or plastic bags to pack a meal each time creates more waste and leaves a lasting negative impact on the environment. Using reusable bento boxes and containers are a great way to do our little bit for our Earth.

A little more about our range of Japanese bento lunch boxes

Bringing you a selection of elegant and functional Japanese style bento boxes and other accessories, sourced and made in Japan.

A ‘bento’ is a Japanese lunchbox, often packing multiple kinds of food into a small, compact space while balancing variety and nutrition at the same time.

Bento lunches are prepared to offer a complete meal, presenting a whole range of tastes and textures –even food groups. From rice to meat, fish, and fresh or pickled vegetables, the Japanese bento lunch box is certainly a unique way to enjoy food in an immersive manner.

The Japanese are well-known for their skills in working with space, and our bento lunch boxes are a reflection of this cultural trait. Traditionally-arranged bentos use each section of the container to pack food into tight rectangular or square shapes. From there, they can be used at school or work, perfect for home, play or office.

We offer many designs of Japanese bento boxes

In Japan, there are many types of bentos one can choose from. These containers are divided into sections to hold different kinds of food. Below are our collection of Japanese designed and elegant bento boxes that we offer in our online store, which you can use for almost any type of bento.

Basic Bento Box Series

Our basic bento box series is designed for those who prefer a simple and non-assuming yet elegant design. These also include our standard sizes. These boxes feature a section for rice, and smaller sections for a variety of other food groups.

Picnic Box Series

Our picnic boxes, also known as ‘ojyu’, are made for sharing with others. These layered designs are slightly larger, making them ideal for picnics, barbeques, and social outings and gatherings. They’re often used for onigiri and even maki-zushi sushi rolls, and are hugely popular during the cherry blossom viewing season in Japan.

Sakura Mokume Series

Our Sakura Mokume collection is beautifully designed with Sakura cherry blossom flowers drifting across a wood-grain backdrop. These don’t look like your typical bento when you first look at them, but that’s why they elevate your meal experience!

Wagara Series

Wagara literally means ‘Japanese patterns’. Our Wagara series have Japanese patterned cloths infused into the lid during the manufacturing process, resulting in beautiful creations that are sure to elevate your experience.

As real cloth is used, each bento box is unique as it will have different positioning of the patterns. Each pattern has a spiritual meaning based on Japan's deep history.

Nuri Wappa Series

Each bento box in the Nuri Wappa series is hand-painted to provide an elegant finish for a traditional Japanese bento look. The design is based on ‘Magewappa’, which is a traditional Japanese craft of bending wood using steam or boiled water.
