Know before you buy
Yes. While traditional wood products are usually hand-wash only, this box features a specialized nano-coating that protects the hinoki wood, allowing it to be cleaned in the dishwasher without compromising its integrity.
The natural, calming scent of the hinoki wood is subtle and designed to enhance your dining experience rather than overpower it. It will not transfer any woody flavor to your meals.
The 480 ml capacity is ideal for a standard individual portion, typically fitting a light lunch or a well-portioned meal of rice and side dishes. It is compact enough for a tote bag while providing enough space for a satisfying serving.
The rounded edges are primarily designed for easier cleaning and a comfortable grip. While they may slightly limit the ability to pack square-shaped items perfectly flush against the sides, the interior remains spacious enough for most standard lunch items.
The Kishu Hinoki Bento Box is designed for traditional Japanese-style meals, which typically consist of solid foods. It is not airtight or leakproof, so it is best suited for dry items rather than soups or thin sauces.
