Akita Cedar Bentwood Lunch Box (Oval Shape, Medium Size)
Introducing a traditional craft item, the “bentwood” lunch box made from Akita cedar, which boasts a history of 400 years.
The “bentwood” of Akita cedar was designated as a traditional craft of Akita Prefecture in 1980.
The natural grain and aroma of Akita cedar are striking, and the patterns of the natural wood grain and the curves of the bentwood are exceptionally beautiful.
The grain spacing is finely and uniformly arranged, with a bright and elegant wood texture that exudes beauty and grace amidst its simple flavor.
Thanks to the natural moisture absorption, fragrance, and antibacterial properties of Akita cedar, the rice can stay fresh for up to two days even in the summer, which has endeared it to many people.
Cedar wood inherently has natural antibacterial properties that prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. It helps prevent food poisoning and E. coli O157.
Unlike plastic lunch boxes, the bentwood box has the functional ability to absorb excess moisture when the rice is too wet and release moisture when it is too dry, showcasing the remarkable wisdom of our ancestors.
The reason the rice still tastes delicious even when cold is not merely a matter of perception; the cedar lunch box regulates humidity, preventing the rice from drying out or becoming sticky, and maintains the optimal moisture level.
This could be considered a high-tech material developed by our predecessors 400 years ago.
It allows you to enjoy the same ingredients in a tastier and safer manner.
Known for its finely uniform and beautiful grain, Akita cedar’s bentwood parts use only the rings with the straight grain. Only about 30% of the material can be taken from a single cedar log, highlighting the selectivity of the materials used.
Each box is handmade by skilled artisans. The cedar boards are boiled in hot water to soften them, then quickly bent while hot. This critical moment requires skill and experience to achieve the right pressure.
The bentwood is then sewn together with cherry bark. After completing the initial crafting, it undergoes a lengthy process of sanding, undercoating, polishing, topcoating, and finishing, all of which require substantial time and effort.
This model is a classic and the most well-known and beloved design of bentwood lunch boxes. It is the lunch box that immediately comes to mind when thinking of traditional bentwood boxes.
The medium size allows it to hold significantly more food than it appears.

秋田杉 曲げわっぱ 小判弁当 中
这是对拥有400年历史的秋田杉传统工艺品——“曲げわっぱ”饭盒的介绍。
秋田杉的“曲げわっぱ”于1980年被指定为秋田县的传统工艺品。
天然的秋田杉的纹理和香气非常出色,自然的木纹图案和弯曲的曲线都显得非常美丽。
年轮的间距细腻均匀,明亮而高雅的木纹在简约的风格中散发出美丽和气质。
秋田杉本身具有的吸湿性、芳香和杀菌效果,使得即使在夏天,饭菜也能保持两天,这使得它受到许多人的喜爱。
杉木天然的杀菌效果能防止对人体有害的细菌繁殖,有助于防止食物中毒和O-157等问题。
与塑料饭盒不同,当饭的水分过多时,杉木饭盒会吸收多余的水分,而水分不足时会释放水分,这种功能性展示了先人的智慧。
饭菜即使冷却后依然美味,并不是错觉,而是因为杉木饭盒通过调节湿度,防止饭菜干燥或因过多水分变得粘腻,从而保持最佳湿度。
这也许是400年前先人们开发的高科技材料。
它能够让同样的食材变得更加美味和安全。
秋田杉因其细腻均匀的美丽木纹而闻名,但用于制作曲げわっぱ的材料仅取自年轮的柾目部分。
从一根杉木原木中,仅能获得约三成的材料,这显示了所用材料的严格挑选。
所有的曲げわっぱ都是由工匠们手工制作的。
工匠们将杉木的柾目板用热水煮沸使其变软,然后迅速弯曲。在这一瞬间,一切都决定了,因此需要基于高超技艺和经验的力量控制。
弯曲好的わっぱ用樱皮缝合固定。
完成初步制作后,经过打磨、底漆、研磨、中漆、研磨、最后的涂装等多个工序,制作过程耗时且繁琐。
这是经典中的经典,最为人熟知和喜爱的形状。
作为传统的曲げわっぱ饭盒,这种形状是最早被人们想到的饭盒。
尺寸为中号,比看起来能容纳更多的配菜。
