Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 they make little stainless steel ones but they dont have dividers. They also make lunch totes that you can keep the food warm in. Also from Japan. There are stainless steel ones that kind of fit on top of each other which you can get at oriental gorcery stores and indian stores sometimes sometimes I get a lock and lock container (plastic but really seals like nothing else and put cooled off steamed veggies in one and wedge another container inside and put the rice in there so it stays separate when the lid is on. I once bought a beto style box (but it did not seal). I thought it was made of a type of laquer (sp?) which is a type of artish way of layering wood I think but it turned out to be plastic imitation so I took it back. seigman wrote: I'm enamored with bento boxes.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I really want the more traditional looking ones with all the little divided sections (especially that tiny section in the middle for pickles or shoyu). I've seen the stainless plain ones, but they don't do it for me. <sigh> I'll keep searching.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 From what I saw in Japan, that is a great price. They were around $300 minimum for the multilayered ones that they use for New Year's celebrations and reached up to $2,000. Some were incredibly beautiful. > >> > >> I'm enamored with bento boxes.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 maybe someone who is handy with that kind of thing can make you one? do you want to use it to travel with - then it would have to be leak proof which is hard ot have some way to seal things like a little soy sauce container in them you could start a whole trend - 's Bento Boxes. I can see it as the next big thing! I would order them! seigman wrote: I really want the more traditional looking ones with all the little divided sections (especially that tiny section in the middle for pickles or shoyu).

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 My dad is actually a woodworker, but I don't know squat about lacquering! I would love to have one made out of pottery. Wouldn't that be nice? I just want one for fun. Sealing would be nice, though, because then I could take it with us to the park and such.
