Cute Bento Boxes

Onigiri boxes from Bento&Co

Onigiri box from Bento&Co

This last month I went a little bento crazy, looking for the cutest boxes and tools. I’m preparing for spring and summer bento picnics Smile Needless to say there’s been little sunshine to spot in the Netherlands so far…
Lately I’ve been complaining to my hubby that I needed more happiness in the kitchen. He replied that he was already surrounded by smiling boxes and tools, lol. I’ll share some pictures with you later.

If you’ve got tips for online recipes, please do share them in the comments! I would really like to know Grin
For now I’ll leave you with my favourite bento picks, in random order.

  1. Decole bento Box, featuring the Little chef. Also check out the adorable smiling cups
  2. 2-tier Tenorikuma bento box with a yellow belt, yep this one is also smiling.
  3. These onigiri boxes are probably the cutest, I couldn’t resist them. They’ll fit one onigiri and  you can place a (tiny) side dish on top. All three now live at my home, staring down at me from the fridge. Please have a look at the matching recipe.
  4. Shinzih Katoh is a japanese designer. You can purchase lots of retro-themed items from his shop. My favourite is the Apple lunch box, which would make a great storage for these apple zakka, how kawaii is that?
  5. Hello Kitty is about my age, so I also grew up with Twin Stars. They are both displayed on a two tier box with chopsticks. You can browse the JBOX site for tons of more bento items.
  6. This list wouldn’t be complete without some yummy Cram Cream so here you go: bunny or piggy.
  7. Kamio dreamy friends bento boxes, comes in 4 designs.
  8. Hooray for more smiling items, check out these boxes shaped like bread <3.
  9. Looking for a complete set? Than this Decole mayonaise bento might be right for you.

  1. Hey very adorable new design (even if it’s probably been different for a while since I don’t keep up much)! Bento crazy reminds me of the bento boxes that we get with our “suprisingly” not Japanese food at a restuarant on campus… instead they serve other Asian foods in them… but yes I believe your little collected list of them here are much MUCH more well designed than theirs. Take care!

  2. hihi,

    Very cute bento boxes, good luck on saving up for the Shinzih Katoh Apple zakka box! Smile

    I like the new layout as well, especially the jumping cube guy in the upper right hand corner.
