Japanese bento boxes are starting to attract attention from overseas. Our Bento Calendar features unique designs that reflect Japan's cultural events throughout the year, accompanied by the monthly calendar. For example, it showcases traditional osechi* dishes for January, children's bento for May, and Christmas-themed bento for December, incorporating seasonal ingredients into the menu for each of the 12 months. The names of the dishes are listed in the back of each card, and by scanning the QR code on the back of the chopsticks that come with the calendar, you can access the recipes for each bento to try making the dishes for yourself. Enjoy exploring and making these authentic Japanese bento with our calendar!
Additionally, since December 2024, we have been offering a new series featuring onigiri (rice balls), a beloved Japanese food enjoyed around the world. Discovering 12 different types of onigiri, each reflecting the seasons, will also be an exciting experience.
*Osechi is a traditional Japanese New Year's dish, beautifully prepared with various symbolic ingredients to celebrate and bring good fortune.
