Japan's Traditional Bentwood Craft.
Bentwood Lunch Box represents Japanese traditional craftsmanship, with each piece individually handcrafted. Made from Akita cedar, these bent wood lunch boxes utilise the wood's natural moisture-regulating properties to maintain rice at optimal humidity, preserving flavour and ensuring delicious meals even hours later.
Our collaboration with Odate Craft creates magewappa using an innovative two-piece construction for the sides, rather than the traditional single bent board. This enhanced design significantly increases durability, creating a truly ""lifetime"" lunch box built to last.

How to use Magewappa to prevent soup from leaking
As a traditional Japanese craft, magewappa are individually handcrafted. Made from Akita cedar, magewappa rice cookers have the moisture-regulating properties of cedar, which helps retain the moisture in the rice and keeps the flavor from escaping, allowing you to eat it deliciously even after a while.
Magewappa (a type of wood used for cooking) that prevents soup from leaking
Until now, magewappa pots were considered unsuitable for carrying soupy side dishes because they could not be fitted with a gasket. However, by making the pot into a precise oval shape, it is now possible to attach a gasket to the underside of the lid, eliminating the worry of soup leaking.
Rice grains do not stick easily and stain-resistant
The inside of the container has been treated to prevent rice grains from sticking, making it easy to handle. It also won't get dirty easily even if you put oily foods or fried rice in it.
Shape that accommodates any contents
The oval-shaped bentwood lunch box has a form that makes it easy to pack ingredients even without dividers, resulting in a well-arranged finished appearance. Enjoy your bentwood lunch box lifestyle with everything from classic side dishes to three-color bento and sandwiches.
