Why We Love It

This authentic Two-Tier Japanese Cedar Bento Box by Hakoya Tsunekichi features a sleek design, and available with two lid styles: natural cedar or charred cedar. Crafted from Yoshino cedar, the lunch box showcases the natural elegance of cedar wood.

Designed for convenience, the bento lunch box features a hand-holdable ashi-kuri finish, allowing you to hold it like a bowl and eat your rice comfortably. Use the two tiers to separate your side dishes on the upper tier and rice on the lower tier, and use the two removable dividers for flexible food organization. This versatile design makes it ideal for a variety of meals on the go.

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.
