Welcome new products from the esteemed Japanese maker, Yamaco! These innovative items are often found in high end restaurants around Japan, and now we are bringing them to your doorstep.

Product Description

Shokado bento boxes (松花堂弁当) are traditionally used as traditional restaurant or formal dinner bento boxes in Japan! If you go to a ryokan (旅館, traditional Japanese inn) you will likely be served dinner in shokado bento boxes.

With four dividers to easily separate the different courses, the Yamaco Wood Shokado Bento | Nami will make a beautiful addition to your dinner table. This stunning bento has fine stylized carvings of waves (nami, 波) on the border. To ensure maximum accuracy, the waves were actually carved with a laser!

Made out of natural Japanese hinoki cypress wood, this bento will feel light in your hand! Hinoki wood is only found Japan, and is considered sacred, being used for generations as material for building palaces, temples and shrines. Alongside its natural anti-bacterial, anti-mould, and anti-mite properties, hinoki wood also has a long lasting unique fragrance that is relaxing and calming.

Product Care

Since this product is made out of natural wood, some care is required:

Hand wash with a mild soap and soft sponge or brush after use. Avoid using harsh cleaners.
Rinse thoroughly and wipe the wood dry using a soft cloth.
Allow the washed bento to air-dry naturally completely, approximately for a day.
Do not leave it to soak as this will disfigure the wood over time.
To prevent natural cracking, treat the wooden dish with a light coat of natural food-grade mineral oil, such as coconut oil (avoid food grade oils as they can become rancid if the wooden dish is not used often). Apply a light coat overnight, and then wipe off the excess.
Do not store it in direct heat; store in a dry area.
