Mr. Bento

by Nick Vagnoni, Posted Feb 18th 2006 @ 2:04PM

I recently came across the Mr. Bento Stainless Lunch Jar by Zojirushi. Some of you may be familiar with the company as the maker of other appliances like breadmakers and rice machines. Their rice machines look like they could put a man on the moon and they even play cute little songs. That said, it's no surprise that Zojirushi makes a bento like this. The casing is stainless steel and holds four microwaveable bowls, as well as chopsticks and a chopstick holder. All of it stays in a zippered carrying bag. It looks like they generally sell for about $50. The "Fun!Fun!Fun!" section of the site is also worth checking out.

It`s probably 1/4 the size of "Mr. Bento," because women don`t really want to eat and risk getting fat, you know? It`s more of an accessorie, so the office girls won`t feel left out when all the salarymen pull out their "Mr. Bento`s."
