2,200 JPY

The Makie Bento series of bento boxes feature 2 beautifully detailed, traditional Japanese designs. The Makie Bento series will be introduced to the Hakoya product line in 2011, but we have them in stock now, ready to ship!

Size M - a great size for adults with small to average appetites.

Presentation

The Makie Bento boxes feature gorgeous lids that are decorated in shades of gold and silver with traditional makie (picture scroll) motifs. The designs are executed to the highest standard by the skilled artisans of Ishikawa. Not only are they beautiful to look at, they are very tactile too, just like the hand-cut designs on traditional lacquereware.

Please choose from:

Ryu, a deep red box with a mythical dragon (ryu). Ryu are supposed to bring you strength and luck!
Karakusa, a black box decorated with a traditional Japanese abstract pattern called karakusa

New to the Makie Bento box series are the flexible inner lids that are made of silicone rather than the usual polyethelene. This means that you can put these boxes in the microwave with the inner lids on. The silicone lids also seal very securely, making the boxes virtually leakproof (though we don't recommend carrying the boxes upside down!).

Features

The Makie Bento box is a rectangular 2-compartment stacking box. Each compartment has its own flexible inner lid. The upper compartment has a capacity of 290 ml, and the lower compartment holds 290 ml, for a total capacity of 580ml.

Dimensions: 174 x 76 x 87 mm (6.8" x 3" x 3.4").

Weight: 340g.

The box is sold with a black elastic bento band to hold it securely closed.

Care and composition

The box body and outer lid are made of PET-PBT. The inner lids are made of silicone. The box is microwave and dishwasher safe, with the outer lid removed. Gentle handwashing is recommended for the outer lid, to keep the decoration pristine. Do not microwave for longer than 2 minutes at 700w. These boxes are not meant for cooking food, just for heating up!

Made in Japan, in Ishikawa by Hakoya.
