Got my order at last after 6 months, WELL worth the $999 I had to spend. The book itself is not so much a cookbook as more like a grimoire, in that you actually READ the recipe from the book, and it will appear in the bento box automatically! I've been reading myself meals for several weeks now, so I hope there isn't a limit to the amount of food-summonings or something, though I'm sure there isn't. Even so, I would highly recommend getting one of these, especially if you don't know how to cook. The pictures are very nice as well.

OH. And whatever you do, don't OVERread the book. I made that mistake the first time when I opened it, and there was a rather nasty explosion of food. So...DON'T read the book end to end when you first get it, tempting as it may be. I was cleaning up snacks for HOURS off the walls and ceiling.

Good read, good food, overall, good buy!

The book is really cute, but I am writing this review because of the stupid overpricing of this item. The book is still available guys. The bento set- while not the same, you can get on ebay. I would not pay $500 for this set. Buy the book and go to your nearest Japanese grocery. They sell bento sets or hit ebay.

$999.99 for a bento box,a set of chopsticks a bag, and a book (that is only $18.50, btw).
This is either just advertisment, a joke, or its crafted out of pure gold.

I pre-order this item in August and the site said it would delivery in mid-Sept. Now it's early October and I get an e-mail from Amazon that it's out-of-stock! Next time, I will remember to keep my pre-orders a secret.
