Kotobuki 280-131 2-Tier Bento Food-Storage Box, Burgundy Owl and Moon
Commonly used by Japanese schoolchildren to transport their lunches, this clever bento box offers a stackable, space-efficient way for young and old alike to carry snacks or meals when on the go. The unit sports a two-tiered design that neatly separates different foods (in Asian cultures the compartments would be filled with rice, fish or meat, and cooked or pickled vegetables). A press-on inner lid keeps contents fresh and free from spills. Constructed of food-safe plastic with a compact design that slips easily into a tote bag, briefcase, or oversized purse, the box includes an elastic band that secures the two tiers together for extra peace of mind. Best of all, its oval-shaped design features smooth edges and a rich burgundy finish, with an outer lid depicting adorable graphics of owls perched beneath the moon--a symbol of good fortune and happiness in Japanese culture. Perfect for filling with a sandwich, chips, and vegetables; leftovers and a salad; or by-the-handful snacks for that road trip or picnic, the unit's top and bottom compartments can be safely placed in the dishwasher or microwave, while its inner lid should be hand washed and should not be placed in the microwave. The two-tier bento food-storage box measures approximately 3 by 5-1/2 by 4 inches.
