Kotobuki 2-Tiered Bento Box, Red Beckoning Cat Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was really hesitant when this little kitty-bento arrived at my doorstep. It was so tiny that I thought I had made a mistake and bought a child's Bento Box.
...Boy, was I wrong!
The thing is: that box is meant for Japanese-style (original) lunch-boxes. That means bite-size pieces, compacted ingredients and no waste of space!
The fact that it's microwavable is a real plus! I wouldn't recommend putting it in the dishwasher, though, the little kitty on top would probably faint.
If you worry about space, here are 2 examples of menus:
LUNCH #1 : Leftovers
Lower-tier
- 4-5 ounces of leftover steak
- 1/2 cup of fried rice
- 1 small container of sauce
Upper-tier
- 1/3 cup of carrots
- 1/3 cup of bell peppers
- 1 mini-muffin for desert
LUNCH#2 : Japanese Bento!
Lower-tier
- 3/4 cup of japanese rice (sprinkled with furikake)
- 1 mini-bottle of soy-sauce
- Yakitori chicken skewers (1 small chicken breast and some grilled veggies)
Upper-tier
- Sliced cucumbers (1/3 cup)
- Flower-shaped carrots
- 1/2 caned pear for desertSee? Plenty of space, if you know what you're doing!

Whether heading off to work or school, this two-tiered bento box from Kotobuki adds both style and affordable practicality to your life, enabling you to pack a healthy lunch from home in its two containers. This rectangular bento box has rounded corners and features a deep red body that's illustrated on the top of the lid by a white-and-black beckoning cat ("Maneko Neko"), welcoming good fortune and luck. The bento is composed of two compartments that stack on top of each other. The upper compartment seals shut with a fitted plastic lid and it doubles as a lid for the bottom compartment. The bento's illustrated lid then covers the top compartment, and an elastic band secures the two compartments together when traveling.
Traced historically back as far as the fifth century in Japan, bento boxes are carried today by everyone from school children to executives and are the ideal way to pack nutritious, travel-friendly meals. Kotubuki bento boxes are made in Japan of durable food-safe plastic. It measures 5-1/2 by 3-3/4 by 2-3/4 inches. The top and bottom compartments are both microwave and dishwasher safe; the inner lid that covers the top compartment is not microwave safe and should be hand washed.
