Know before you buy
Yes, these bento boxes are finished to protect the natural cedar or cypress from moisture and food stains. This treatment ensures the wood remains durable while preserving the authentic texture and fragrance of the material.
To preserve the wood, hand wash the box with mild soap and warm water, then wipe it dry immediately. Avoid soaking it in water or using a dishwasher, as high heat and moisture can cause the natural wood to warp or crack.
No, this product is not suitable for microwave or dishwasher use. The natural wood construction is sensitive to extreme temperatures and prolonged exposure to water, which can damage the finish and the integrity of the box.
The lid is designed for a snug fit, but it is not airtight or leak-proof. It is best suited for carrying dry foods, rice, or solid items rather than soups, dressings, or liquids.
The Ukiyoe designs are applied to withstand regular use, but they are subject to natural wear. To keep the artwork vibrant, avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals when cleaning the exterior.
