Nara Bento

4,000 JPY

First came the Kyo Bento box, then the Edo Bento box. Now we are proud to present you another genuine wooden bento box, the Nara Bento. 

Size M.

The Nara Bento box is a beautiful, single tier bento box. It is made of wood from the harigiri (kaloponax) tree called "sen". The slightly open grain of the wood and the warm reddish-brown color adds to its natural charm. 

The box is hand made by a skilled artisan in Aizu Wakamatsu, Fukushima prefecture, an area known for wooden boxes. The box is finished with food grade polyurethane to show off the wood to its best advantage. 

Nara (奈良）was the first capital of Japan, from 710 to 784 A.D. Many of the ancient buildings are still preserved in the modern day city of Nara, for everyone to enjoy. If you go to Japan, Nara is a great side trip from Kyoto. 

This product is made of wood cut long before the 11 March 2011, in an area far from the Fukushima nuclear plant. This product and others from this maker are absolutely not dangerous. Safety is our first concern, and we continue to support these artisans in this difficult time.

Features 

Capacity: 450 ml.  There is a matching wooden lid, and a straight internal wooden divider. 

Dimensions: 18.2 cm long x 11.4 cm wide x 5.3 cm high (7.1" x 4.5" x 2.1"). 

We recommend using a furoshiki wrapping cloth for wrapping and transporting this bento box. 

The Nara Bento Box comes wrapped in Japanese washi paper and packaged in a beautiful presentation box - perfect for gift giving. 

Composition and care 

100% wood, with a food grade polyurethane finish. 

Not microwave, oven or dishwasher safe! Hand wash only using cold or lukewarm water and a mild dishwashing detergent if needed. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not leave soaking in water. Oils that may leech from your food just deepen the color of the wood. With proper care, this box is sure to become a treasured family heirloom. 

Made in Fukushima, Japan.
