Bento&co Kyoto Store, Your Bento Universe in Kyoto!
Welcome to the Bento&co physical store in Kyoto! Since April 2012, we've been happy to welcome you to this iconic city, recognized worldwide for its cultural heritage and refined gastronomy. Located in the heart of Kyoto, we are proud to offer you a unique experience to discover the world of bento and the Japanese art of living.
Following the success of our online store, we wanted to create a place where you could touch, see, and choose your favorite products in person. Whether you are a Kyoto resident or a tourist passing through this city we love so much, come visit us for a total immersion in authentic Japanese culture.
We work on the upper floor of the store, so don't hesitate to drop by; we are always very happy to meet our customers!
Your Bento Universe in Kyoto
Our store is a true treasure trove for Japan enthusiasts, and bento aficionados in particular. We primarily focus on everything that makes bento so special:
- Bento Boxes: From traditional to modern designs, including insulated boxes and kids' models, Magewappa wooden boxes, Totoro or Pokémon boxes – there's something for everyone, mostly made in Japan, of course!
- Bento Accessories: Dividers, onigiri molds, carrying bags, reusable cutlery, chopsticks, and much more to personalize and simplify your bento preparation.
- Furoshiki: Discover our wide range of beautiful traditional Japanese wrapping cloths. We offer various sizes, perfect for wrapping a bento, serving as an extra bag, or even as wall decor. All of our furoshiki are made right here in Kyoto, perpetuating local craftsmanship.
- Small Selection of Japanese Kitchenware: Quality items made in Japan to equip your kitchen.
- Tea Products: Explore a selection of quality products for a gourmet and serene break.
If a product you saw on our website is not on the shelves, it's very likely we have it in stock upstairs. Don't hesitate to ask our team!
