This wooden lunch box is made of Hinoki (Japanese cypress) for the sides and Sawara (another type of Japanese cypress) for the lid and bottom.
Both types of wood have long been used in daily life in Japan and are familiar to people, including their fragrance.
We introduce a round bento box that combines the “Hinoki” and “Sawara” and is fastened with cherry bark as a finishing touch.
The sides of the lunch box are made of “Kiso Hinoki” from Gifu Prefecture. “Kiso Hinoki” is a natural Japanese cypress found in the southern Hida and Tōnō regions of Gifu Prefecture, and has long been used as a high-quality building material, including the heartwood for the five-story pagoda of Hōryūji (Hōryū Temple).Its fine grain, elasticity, and homogeneity with little distortion make it a suitable material for “bent products” such as this bento box and steamer.The Hinoki is thinned, circled, and then pasted together. It is then fastened with cherry bark.The color of these cherry blossoms is both a design feature and an accent. The unevenness is also unique to natural materials.This is a view from the inside. Cherry bark is sewn into the hinoki. It is really simple.Hinoki and cherry bark, the “friction” between them prevents them from falling out.Here is a top view of the lid. The lid and bottom plate are made of Sawara wood.The “Sawara” wood used in the making of this item is “Kiso Sawara” from the Kiso region of Nagano Prefecture. The standing tree looks similar to Hinoki(Japanese Cypress), but as a wood it is softer, easier to handle, lighter, and more water-resistant than Hinoki.As for the capacity of the bento(lunch box), it is about the size of a small to normal serving for an adult. In the photo, rice is placed on the bottom layer and side dishes are placed on top of it.If you lay down rice, the rice will absorb the moisture of the side dish, and you can add a slightly moist side dish on top of it. In addition, the Hinoki and the Sawara can adjust some of the moisture, allowing you to have a moist rice dish.The bento box is finished in raw wood. It is not impregnated with oil or painted. The color of vegetables and side dishes may slightly transfer to the lunchbox. Also, during the manufacturing process, the wood may have some dents and scratches. Please understand this in advance.Before each use, wipe the inside lightly with a wet cloth. Wiping with a wet and tightly squeezed cloth is just right.After use, wash with a scrubbing brush in water without waiting too long. (*Photograph shows a Mini Japanese steamer made of Hinoki wood.)
For other care, wipe off any moisture, and when thoroughly dry, place it in a well-ventilated place (such as an open rack shelf) or, when not in use for a while, wrap it in paper or store it in a paper bag.
It is said that Hinoki’s color and gloss will stay beautiful forever if you keep wiping with water.
These wooden lunchboxes are great for moderately regulating the moisture content of the food.
Just the right amount of adjustment will keep the texture and taste of the food in good condition for the lunch to be eaten after some time has passed.
It can be used not only as a lunch box but also as a small container with a lid.

— About care —
Before use, wipe the inside of the Bento box lightly with a wet cloth.
After each use, wash the inside and outside of the Bneto box carefully with salt or powdered cleanser, without using synthetic detergent.
Do not leave the Bento box filled with water, as this will accelerate the deterioration of the Bento box.
After washing and wiping the Bento box, mist the inside of the Bento box with rubbing alcohol (ethanol) to prevent blackening and mold.
After washing in water, dry in a well-ventilated place (e.g., by a window or near an exhaust fan) in the shade. Direct exposure to sunlight will cause the wood to shrink due to rapid drying, which may cause the hoops to come off, crack, or deform.
Please do not use a dishwasher.
When not in use for longer than one month, the body and lid should be kept separate and wrapped in paper or cloth. The best place to store them is in a place with little temperature fluctuation and no humidity. When doing so, it is best to store with the lid open. Leaving the lid closed or storing in a plastic bag may cause “sap” to appear.
