Whether heading off to work or school, this two-tiered bento box from Kotobuki adds both style and affordable practicality to your life, enabling you to pack a healthy lunch from home in its two containers. This rectangular bento box has rounded corners and features smooth black body with a lid that's accented by swirled brush strokes and Japanese calligraphy for "satsu," which translates as the sound of the wind. The bento is composed of two compartments that stack on top of each other. The upper compartment seals shut with a fitted plastic lid and it doubles as a lid for the bottom compartment. The bento's illustrated lid then covers the top compartment, and an elastic band secures the two compartments together when traveling.

Kotubuki bento boxes are made in Japan of durable food-safe plastic. It measures 8-1/8 by 3-3/8 by 3-1/8 inches. The top and bottom compartments are both microwave and dishwasher safe; the inner lid that covers the top compartment is not microwave safe and should be hand washed.
