Skater Japanese Modern/Traditional Compartmental 2-Tier Bento Lunch Box, 900 mL, Chopsticks

Perfect. The only problem with this little gem is that it suffers from the ignorance of the average Amazon customer/review writer. This little bento box is exactly what anyone who is familiar with what a bento box is would expect it to be. All of the low star reviews are people who have no clue what a bento box is but buy this anyway and then complain that it is too small to feed their overweight children. Bento boxes like this are meant for one person, complaining about the size because it is not enough for two is like complaining about a sandwich bag because you could only fit one sandwich in it. Do some research and educate yourselves people. It's not this products fault that you were too stupid, lazy, and/or ignorant to know/find out what you were buying before hand. Just to be clear I eat A LOT, my wife and in-laws make fun of the amount of food I eat compared to a normal person, that being said this bento box holds the proper sizes portions of a traditional Japanese style carry out lunch that I SHOULD be eating and it fills me up when I fill it with a Japanese style bento lunch and I love it. Additionally the lid latches in the two tier set up or Sitting only on the larger bottom, so you can store the small container in the bottom before putting the bottom lid on then latch the top lid on and stow it in a more compact configuration. If you are in the market for a bento box and actually took the time to learn what a bento box is then buy away, you won't regret it.**Update**I have been using this little bento for a little over a month now for the lunch I take to work on my 12 hour shifts. I have washed it in the dishwasher everyday, and as long as you know how to pack a bento lunch and don't try to eat more than you should then this little box is perfect. The only thing that has given me any pause is when washing in the dishwasher, I remove the gasket from the lid, that however started to get deformed so I would recommend doing what I do now, which is hand wash the gasket but wash the rest in the dishwasher.

This box is perfect for me. It fits more then enough food for my appetite. Heck, sometimes I can't even finish everything in the box....Now you might come at this and say that's not enough food in that box, I can't fit my triple cheeseburger or medium pizza for lunch...well then maybe you should reconsider :/ This box works best if you're into portion control, or maybe are looking for a snack box...Me, I think it fits more than enough. I sometimes do a half PBJ sandwich on the bottom portion along with some grapes, then on top half I do like snack items, ie cashews, cheese, chocolate, dried fruit...you just need to be creative in how you pack and how much. This is also great for those who want variety in small portions. Which is where I'm at with food. My pallet gets bored with large portions of food, so small portions in a variety is best. And this bento box does that right.

I bought this to make bento-style lunches for my husband to take to work a few times a week. We have been using it for about a month and he is enjoying the change from the same-old sandwich, chips, and fruit.Please be aware that if you are looking for a container to pack the standard American lunch mentioned above, you will be disappointed, as this box is intended to be packed tightly with compact foods: rice, small pasta shapes, quinoa, etc., plus bite-sized proteins and vegetables like small meatballs, diced chicken, cherry tomatoes, and cut-up broccoli or green beans. Packed this way, it actually holds quite a lot of food - too much for me but a perfect amount for my husband, who is a runner and cyclist and has a very healthy appetite. You could pack sandwiches in it, but you would be better off cutting them into small shapes first instead of leaving them whole (there are lots of cute-shaped sandwich cutters available on Amazon.com for just this very purpose).Overall, I am very happy with this bento box, which looks stylish and fits easily into a backpack or large briefcase. If you are interested in making beautiful and tasty bento lunches, I would recommend it and would also recommend buying Makiko Itoh's "Just Bento Cookbook," which has a lot of very delicious recipes that are great for bento.

This bentô has a very convenient, modular interior that will easily fit many types of foods. The exterior is durable, and overall it's slim design makes it easy to carry in just about any tote or bag. Don't worry about its small 'footprint', though. Plenty of food still fits inside, so you won't be left wanting. This is a great bentô to bring along for lunch at work or school.
