Best of the Best: Lunch Containers

#1 Kyoto Bento Lunch Box

Starting at $23.60

A bento box makes it easy to carry everything you need for lunch in a multi-compartment carrier, and this model is particularly well-made. One of the coolest aspects of the bento box style is that it encourages a variety of foods by design. In Japan, they’ve been popular for at least a thousand years.

This one combines traditional Japanese features with modern touches, like a silicone-lined lid that completely prevents leaks and preserves freshness. Two layers of trays give you plenty of space to package up a full day’s worth of meals and snacks.

This container is made from BPA-free materials, and the food compartments (not the exterior) are microwave- and dishwasher-safe, making this a convenient choice for anyone who doesn't like washing dishes. 

Includes: Two-level bento box with lids and elastic closure and two compartment dividers.
