This traditional 2-tier stacking wood bento box is not only STACKABLE, it is also "insertable" to transform into a small compact object for storage or carrying. It comes with an extra lid so you can also use it as 2 independent bento boxes. This is the most iconic, versatile and beautiful hand-crafted bent wood bento box ever. There is also an oval version, which is as iconic as it can be in the bent wood craft world!
Bentwood Master Masaji Sosogi made this exclusively for Goenne. Carrying a heritage of 400 years, Issochi regional style bento box is made with 2 different kinds of woods (cedar and cypress). It gives the box a whole different level of natural wood aroma.
The outside is protected with food-safe urethane from wear-and-tear, and brings out the difference of the 2 wood colors. The inside is left in raw wood finish, retaining the lasting aroma of cedar and cypress. While helping your food to balance moisture, so rice and bread can stay fluffy.
Issochi-style bento box is more hearty and hefty. Made with 5mm bent hinoki wood, with a 1.5cm thick cedar lid. This is especially suitable for restaurant use or if you are the heavy-handed kind.
It comes with 2 loose dividers so you can portion the food. One common feature of Japanese bento boxes is tiering. One tier is for rice, the other tier for meat and vegetables. Tiering allows separation of different food and while the box size compact. Also great for sweets and bakery. Be sure to check the size before ordering.
Proudly hand-made with local material in Issochi by the one and only bent wood artisan Masaji Sosogi.
COMES WITH: 2 wood dividers and 2 elastic bands, 2 wood lids.
Suggest you get a furoshiki wrapping cloth for carrying the stacked boxes.
