Umami Bento Box Adult All-in-1 w/ 4 Utensils, 100% Leakproof, Dishwasher & Microwave Safe Lunch Containers for Adults w/ 4 Compartments, Matte Black, 1200 ml

My wife and I are getting heavily into all things Japanese (especially cuisine) and have been cooking and preparing a lot of sushi of various types. We wanted to make up a picnic of sushi and other Japanese snacks (to make a change from sausage rolls etc) do thought that we would buy one of these. It is, of course, ideal for the job, with two liquid tight containers of a good size, also a set of utensils in the lid (some chopsticks would have been ideal though) also a couple of small lidded containers for sesame seeds, soy sauce or wasabi for dips. Will buy another as I think ideally this is large enough for one small lunch each or one large lunch for one person. Nice quality, looks really neat, can't wait to try it out. Itadakimasu!

Literally the only downside to this is it's quite big but as it's leakproof with proper silicone seals you don't need to use the bottom half. You can just use the top half and leave the bottom at home and it stays together. Dividers work well, the sauce pots are a good size and good quality. The bamboo was worth the extra money just to have bamboo cutlery with it, really nice to eat off rather than plastic.

So far this has been a great little bento box.I got this for my daughter to have healthy foods spaced out in different areas for school as timings for lunch at school are not the best times during the current situation.We love creating different lunch ideas to fit in the 2 boxes. You can use one box as well which we do on her shorter day.You can’t cram loads of food in but you can put an ideal portion that would be classed as the right amount for health.The 2 portion dividers won’t separate liquids etc. When I did a salad and put some sliced baguette on the other side of the divider it was a little wet on one side of the bread. So I now put a little bit of kitchen roll or foil around the bread.We have put in salads, sushi, wraps, sandwich (cut in small squares and triangles in one box), then chopped fruit, nuts, homemade biscuits etc in the second box.The disappointment is the ideal little dressing box. The lids don’t fasten securely when in the box.I’m not sure on rice and sauce dishes and if they would leak but to be on the safe side I use a bento box drawstring bag to cover the box just in case.For great bento box ideas head to YouTube and look at pick up limes and mind over munch.Some great ideas you can adapt yourself.

I bought two different bentos, the left "bean shaped one" for myself and the one I'm reviewing for my partner. The only thing I wish mine was a bit bigger, since this UMAMI one is a bit more spaciousand has more extras like the sauce containers and dividers.Overall I would say this bento it's a very good adult size container. You can feat a decent meal no problem. It has a lid for every container and space for cutlery inside the box. It comes with fork, knife, spoon and chopsticks. They also add 2 sauce pots in this pack and they are very handy.The rubber seals in the lids make it leak proof, but I wouldn't trust it having it full of soup sideways (thats just me).It's very easy to clean but sometimes it's annoying having to clean all the lids and dividers.I would say it's pretty sturdy and it will last us a long while and lots of trips from home to work!

Absolutely wonderful bentō!! I love it. The bamboo top makes the product look elegant with a modern touch to a traditional design. But more importantly - easy to clean, 2 removeable dividers, beautiful reusable cutlery and 2 mini pots that fit neatly in either compartment.For those wondering: yes, you can fit 2 sandwhiches in there! Just cut them diagonally. Utensils are wooden and the elastic band holding both together can be used on 2 boxes or just 1. Use the band length-wise along one container if you don't need to carry two.I have ordered more!

I have just received this nifty little bento box, which will presumably serve as usefully as any other leak proof bento box. As mentioned by another reviewer, the little sauce tub is too tall to fit inside the box and allow the seal to close properly, which I think is a design flaw, though I suspect I am supposed to purchase a carry bag for everything for an additional tenner. The box over all isn't quite as sturdy as I had anticipated, and the "Bamboo" lid which I had naively expected to be real bamboo is simply simulated plastic. It seems otherwise sound with silicone seals to both compartments and the quality is acceptable, though probably not quite to the price paid.I paid around £25.49, reduced from £29.99 on a special deal. The original Umami Bento box price is quoted on the Amazon web page as £49.99. I am not complaining about any of that. I made a choice on price, it will serve a purpose. and I cannot be faffed to return it.What I am complaining about, is that on returning to the relevant Amazon web page to check out the finer points of the silicone seals, I was today confronted by an advertisement for another leakproof bento box which appears, from all details and photographs, to be exactly the same product sold by a different company for £14.99, although it doesn't include the little sauce pot. There are many reviews and it has been on sale on Amazon since Feb 2017, so it hasn't just made an appearance over the last couple of days. I made a pretty comprehensive search of all bento boxes on the day of my purchase, so why didn't I find it? Perhaps I just didn't see it, but it's not the first time I've had that sort of experience on Amazon.So if you are looking for a leak proof two tier bento box make sure you hunt very carefully, because you could be paying very different prices for what appear to be very similar products.
