The Handcrafted Round Hinoki Bento Box is a timeless expression of Japanese artisan tradition. Made using the ancient magewappa technique, this elegant lunch box is crafted by bending thin sheets of hinoki (Japanese cypress) into a seamless circular form. The base and lid are made from sawara (Japanese cedar), both prized for their durability and gentle fragrance.
What makes this bento box truly exceptional is its natural ability to regulate moisture. The breathable wood keeps rice soft, fluffy, and delicious—even after it cools—making every bite feel freshly prepared. Secured with hand-stitched cherry bark, each box is assembled with precision and care by skilled Japanese craftspeople.
The Handcrafted Round Hinoki Bento Box is ideal for those who want to enjoy their meals with intention and beauty. Whether you’re packing a nourishing lunch for work, a special meal for a picnic, or giving a thoughtful gift, this bento box brings together functionality and artistry in perfect balance.
Care is simple and sustainable: wipe the interior before use, wash gently with a soft brush and cleanser, then dry in a well-ventilated area. Once you start using this traditional bento box, you’ll find it’s more than just a container—it’s a way of life.
