Description
The Handcrafted Oval Hinoki Bento Box brings timeless Japanese elegance and practicality to your lunch routine. Made using the traditional magewappa technique, this bento box features thinly shaved hinoki (Japanese cypress) bent into a graceful oval form. The base and lid are crafted from sawara (Japanese cedar), the same wood used in high-quality rice tubs, ensuring moisture regulation and preserving the natural flavor of your food.
Lightweight and breathable, this box keeps rice fluffy and flavorful even after it cools—enhancing your meal without the need for reheating. Each piece is fastened with natural cherry bark and carefully handcrafted by Japanese artisans, making every box a unique work of functional art.
The Handcrafted Oval Hinoki Bento Box is perfect for anyone seeking a more mindful and elevated way to enjoy lunch. Whether at the office or on a picnic, its natural wood fragrance and refined finish turn any meal into a special moment. Easy to maintain with simple hand washing and air drying, it’s a sustainable and beautiful alternative to plastic containers.
Once you try a magewappa bento, you may never go back—this is more than a lunch box; it’s a daily ritual in craftsmanship and care.
Note: Wood naturally expands and contracts with changes in humidity. To prevent damage caused by this movement, there is a small intentional gap between the bottom panel and the side walls of the box. Please use food cups when packing dishes with moisture or sauce.
