Large Japanese Cedar Bento Box (40fl.oz/1200ml)

Why We Love It

This authentic Large Japanese Cedar Bento Box by Hakoya Tsunekichi features a generous 40 oz/ 1,200ml capacity and is available with two lid styles: natural cedar or charred cedar. Crafted from Yoshino cedar, the rectangular lunch box showcases the natural elegance of cedar wood.

The bento lunch box includes a removable divider for flexible meal organization. Over time, the cedar's unique grain and texture will develop a rich patina, adding to its charm. The lid can also be used as a tray for small dishes, making it perfect for workplace lunches, picnics, or serving chirashi sushi.

The Japanese bento box includes an original elasticated bento box strap made in Kahoku City, Ishikawa Prefecture, a region renowned for the quality of its textiles. Each strap features a wooden netsuke tag, adding a touch of charm and authenticity to your bento box.

Why Choose a Cedar Bento Box from Hakoya Tsunekichi

Hakoya Tsunekichi, crafting cedar boxes since its founding in 1868, remains committed to using natural materials and creating unpainted products that highlight the beauty of cedar. To fully utilize their inherited techniques and domestic cedar, they carefully process and manufacture each item in Japan.

The process of charring cedar not only enhances the wood's natural patterns but also increases its durability, a technique passed down through generations. This results in a bento box that is both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional.

In this age of over-consumption, Hakoya Tsunekichi continues to make products in Osaka, where craftsmen uphold traditions and techniques ensuring that the more you use them, the more you become attached to them.
