Kotobuki 2-Tiered Bento Box, Black/White Plum Review

I love this bento! The bottom tier is very roomy, and I usually put my main dish in it (a sandwich, salad, casserole, etc.). In the top tier I can pile in fruit and a dipping sauce. When you hold this bento it looks small but it definitely can hold a nice amount of food. The flower designs are nice too.

This appears kind of small. You can cram a lot into it though. If you are a big eater, you will want a bigger one. It doesn't come with a strap to keep it closed, so you will want to get one. I put it in my kids insulated lunch bag, so it stays cold, and I can include a drink. Makes lunch cool on so many levels.

Kotobuki 2-Tiered Bento Box, Black/Rabbit Textile Review

Positives. The appearance is elegant. The shiny blackness of the bento looks fancier than the plastic that it is. The understated, somewhat abstract design of the hare running in a field under the moon is nice and not too cute -- important for those of us not wishing to send the wrong message. It comes with a red elastic belt (not pictured) to keep the bento together. This is a stylish way to bring lunch to office or school, and the bento can be microwaved. The shape also matters. It is not a flat box, but with two tiers it is more vertical, which means it can fit int your bag vertically more easily, which means less chance of spillage. It is small and space-saving.
Negatives. (1) The inside lid for the top tier stains easily. (2) Some other bento at this price range comes with chopsticks (sometimes in a built-in compartment) and a bag. (3) It is really not the cheapest bento, and hardly the biggest bang for the buck.
Potential issues. (1) The bento may be a bit small for medium to large men/women. Most other adults who lead a sedentary life can get away by packing every cubic inch very tightly with "dense" food (i.e., no penne with all that space in the middle). The upside is eating sensible portions. (2) The top lid is not airtight, so don't expect to put soup in there. The bottom tier is designed for rice, hence it is not airtight. If your lunch is analogous to the Japanese formula in some way, you're fine. (3) I suspect the dishwasher might eventually scratch off the design.

Kotobuki 280-129 2-Tiered Bento Box, Panda Face Review

Kotobuki 280-129 2-Tiered Bento Box, Panda Face

I ordered two pandas and two frogs for my 4 kids (from ages 2-10). They arrived today and I should probably wait for a day to see how they actually hold up going to school, but I am really excited about these boxes! On first glance they appear to be too small, but when I really think about how much lunch my kids are really able to consume in their short lunch period at school, I think it is just right and will prevent waste. I did try to close them up tonight and flip them over to see how lunch would fare in transit and, because of their small size and how tightly packed I had to make them, nothing moved. I didn't even use the inner tightly sealing lid on the top.
Edited: They made it to and from school without spilling. The kids were able to use the bands on them to reclose them. No problems whatsoever and they didn't even eat everything in the boxes!
