This Japanese-made bento box is crafted from domestically produced bento wood, milled from Hita cedar in Oita Prefecture. Yamaya Lacquerware uses Kishu lacquerware techniques to polish and finish the box. Our store logo is engraved on the back. This bento box is loved by many customers not only for its stylish and cute appearance, but also for its functionality, allowing rice to be enjoyed even when cold.
[Made from domestic Kyushu cedar | Reliable quality, handcrafted by Japanese artisans] This product measures 17cm wide x 10.3cm deep x 6.2cm high, and holds approximately 500ml. Made from domestic Kyushu cedar, it features beautiful grain and a soft texture that feels comfortable in the hand. Cedar grown in warm regions such as Fukuoka and Kumamoto prefectures is lightweight and easy to handle, making it ideal for bento boxes. Each box is carefully crafted by artisans, resulting in a finish that evokes the warmth of the wood. Because we use natural materials, each product has its own unique grain and color, proving that it's one of a kind. Recommended for those who appreciate the texture of nature.
[Rice stays fluffy and delicious even when cold! Cedar's moisture-regulating properties make every day a luxurious lunchtime] The appeal of bento boxes lies in the moisture-regulating properties of cedar. They absorb excess moisture from the rice and retain the necessary moisture, preventing it from getting soggy even when it cools, maintaining its fluffy texture. You can feel the outline of the rice grains the moment you bite into them, and you can enjoy their delicious flavor even when they're cold. Even though they don't have a heat retention function, many reviews have said that they "feel like they're freshly cooked."
[Incredibly lightweight! Easy to carry. Suitable for everyone from elementary school students to working adults] The lightness of wood is also a major attraction. Much lighter than plastic lunch boxes, they're easy to carry around in your commuter bag. Popular as lunch boxes for elementary and junior high school students, their stylish Japanese design attracts attention at work lunches and picnics. They're also great for social media, boosting your motivation to pack your own lunch.
["Maintaining a bento box is difficult"... No need to worry!] After use, simply wash gently with a mild detergent and sponge as usual. After washing, wipe off any excess water with a dry cloth and let it dry thoroughly in a well-ventilated area. By avoiding moisture, which can cause mold, you can keep your bento box clean and in good condition for a long time. While wood may seem like a hassle, these boxes boast hassle-free, everyday use.
[Perfect for gifts or for yourself. Choose from two types of lids and be eco-friendly!] We offer two types of lids: a "lid type" and a "stand-alone type." Choose the one that best suits your needs and storage needs. Bento boxes made from natural wood also fit the trend toward eliminating plastic. They're perfect for a SDG-conscious lifestyle and are an environmentally friendly choice. The back is engraved with Yamaya Lacquerware's original laser engraving, and the quality and design make it a perfect gift. It is a popular item that is often chosen as a gift for loved ones.
