Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Whether heading off to work or school, this two-tiered bento box from Kotobuki adds both style and affordable practicality to your life, enabling you to pack a healthy lunch from home in its two containers. Geared toward those both young and young at heart, this panda-shaped bento box has a black-and-white exterior that's illustrated with eyes, smiling mouth, and black puffy ears. The bento is composed of two compartments that stack on top of each other. The upper compartment seals shut with a fitted plastic lid and it doubles as a lid for the bottom compartment. The panda-illustrated lid then covers the top compartment, and an elastic band (complete with eyebrows that can be placed above the panda's eyes) secures the two compartments together when traveling.

Traced historically back as far as the fifth century in Japan, bento boxes are carried today by everyone from school children to executives and are the ideal way to pack nutritious, travel-friendly meals. Kotubuki bento boxes are made in Japan of durable food-safe plastic. It measures approximately 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 by 3-1/8 inches. The top and bottom compartments are both microwave and dishwasher safe; the inner lid that covers the top compartment is not microwave safe and should be hand washed.

This review is from: Kotobuki 280-129 2-Tiered Bento Box, Panda Face (Kitchen)

I don't eat a lot for lunch so this is perfect! It fits about a cup of cooked rice on the bottom and lots of veggies on the top. It is very small, but if you don't eat much it's great. Plus, it's a /ninja panda/!

This review is from: Kotobuki 280-129 2-Tiered Bento Box, Panda Face (Kitchen)

I ordered two pandas and two frogs for my 4 kids (from ages 2-10). They arrived today and I should probably wait for a day to see how they actually hold up going to school, but I am really excited about these boxes! On first glance they appear to be too small, but when I really think about how much lunch my kids are really able to consume in their short lunch period at school, I think it is just right and will prevent waste. I did try to close them up tonight and flip them over to see how lunch would fare in transit and, because of their small size and how tightly packed I had to make them, nothing moved. I didn't even use the inner tightly sealing lid on the top.

Edited: They made it to and from school without spilling. The kids were able to use the bands on them to reclose them. No problems whatsoever and they didn't even eat everything in the boxes!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a hit with my 6 year old!, August 29, 2009

This review is from: Kotobuki 280-129 2-Tiered Bento Box, Panda Face (Kitchen)

I bought mine at Natural Pantry and it's just the right size for my son. I can fit his sandwich (cut in the panda shape) in one tray and everything else in the other layer. At first glance it seems to small but actually it's just right. His other lunch bag is big because of all the containers we use....now we don't need them. : )

He has used it a few times and so far it gets 5 stars from him that's for sure.
