Re: Amazon.com

I also recommend the Nissan equivalent of the Mr. Bento. We got one a few weeks back, and it works very well!

I was wondering if you have ordered from the 3 stores you suggested. I like to make sure people have had a good shopping experience with all the stores we have on the list. ^_^

The Bento Obento shop is awesome to deal with, I've ordered many accessories from them and they always ship very quickly^^.

Re: Daiso


Does Daiso do online shopping? I checked the website and it doesn't look like they do. I will add them to the geographic list.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Re: Utsuwa no Yakata

Have you ordered from them before? I like to keep this list to stores the members have had good experiences with.

http://www.snapware.com -- great for larger bento-style boxes and plain, undecorated boxes. The size and plainness of the boxes seem to be quite popular among the bento-loving boyfriends around here!

Reusablebags.com sells the laptop lunch kits, other lunch containers that are good for bento, and To-Go Ware bamboo utensils. They don't focus on bento, though. I've ordered them and have been very pleased with their service.

http://www.laptoplunches.com/ - Their stuff is awesome and seemingly very versatile. I have yet to splurge on one of their products yet, mostly because of the plethora of bento boxes I already own.
