Ok, so you are wondering what is Bento? Bento is a Japanese boxed lunch and/take out meal box.  Traditionally, Bento would be packed with rice, fish or maybe noodles.  It can be used as a creative way of making lunch exciting for kids.  Bento makers offer various accessories to accompany your Bento Box and assist you with your food art.  The boxes come in different shapes, sizes and styles.  One, two or three tiers are available to suit your needs.  These boxes can hold fruits, veggies, pin wheels, rice, sandwiches, etc. You can also purchase Bento condiment cups and food dividers to assist you with packing lunches. These boxes are good for portion control and using leftovers. 

On a side note, when ordering your Bento Box make sure to read the description and check the product specifications.  Some Bento Boxes are not microwave and/or dishwasher safe. 

Bento is not limited to square and rectangle containers.  For soups and pasta check out Bento style bowls at http://en.bentoandco.com/. 

Bento & Co.'s prices are reasonable and the boxes are gorgeous!  They ship from Japan to all countries. 

Get creative with your Bento Box!
