Akita Cedar Bentwood Lunch Box (Two-Tier)
Introducing the “bentwood” lunch box made from Akita cedar.
The Akita cedar “bentwood” was designated as a traditional craft of Akita Prefecture in 1980.
The natural Akita cedar’s straight grain and aroma are outstanding, and the natural wood grain patterns and curved lines make this lunch box exceptionally beautiful.
The growth rings are finely and evenly spaced, and the bright and elegant wood grain exudes both beauty and refinement within a simple taste.
Due to Akita cedar’s inherent moisture absorption, aroma, and antibacterial properties, rice can stay fresh for two days even in summer, which has made it beloved by many people.
The cedar wood naturally has antibacterial effects that prevent the growth of harmful bacteria, offering protection against food poisoning and E. coli.
Unlike plastic lunch boxes, this one has the functionality to absorb moisture when it is too high and release it when it is low. This is a remarkable piece of wisdom from our ancestors.
The reason the rice remains delicious even after cooling is not just a matter of perception; the cedar lunch box adjusts humidity, preventing the rice from drying out or becoming too sticky, thus maintaining optimal moisture levels.
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 more delicious and safer way.
Known for its finely uniform and beautiful wood grain, Akita cedar’s bentwood components are made from only the straight grain part of the rings.
From a single cedar log, only about 30% of the material may be usable, demonstrating how selectively the materials are chosen.
Every piece is handcrafted by artisans.
The cedar’s straight-grain boards are softened by boiling in hot water and then quickly bent while still hot.
This moment determines everything, requiring a high level of skill and experience to handle the material correctly.
The bentwood is sewn together with cherry bark.
After the initial assembly, the box undergoes sanding, priming, polishing, mid-coating, further polishing, and final finishing, involving an extensive amount of time and effort.
This lunch box is shaped like a “hango,” with its gently curved lines creating a uniquely attractive form.
You can use it either with both tiers for rice and side dishes, or just one tier depending on your portion size, offering three possible ways to use it.
The upper and lower tiers have different capacities, allowing for flexible use according to the amount.
Dimensions: Width 17 cm, Depth 9 cm, Height 9.5 cm
Capacity: Upper tier 390 cc, Lower tier 500 cc
秋田杉 曲げわっぱ 二段はんごう弁当 秋田杉拥有400年历史的传统工艺品
以下是「曲げわっぱ」便当盒的介绍。
秋田杉的「曲げわっぱ」在1980年被指定为秋田县的传统工艺品。
天然的秋田杉木纹和香气都十分出众，自然的木纹图案和曲线的弯曲都非常美丽的便当盒。
年轮间隔细腻均匀，明亮且高雅的木纹在简约的风格中展现出美感和气质。
由于秋田杉本身具有的吸湿性、芳香和杀菌效果，即使在夏天也能让米饭保持两天的美味，因而受到很多人的喜爱。
杉木原本具有天然的杀菌效果，能够防止人体有害细菌的繁殖，预防食物中毒和O-157等问题。
与塑料便当盒不同，杉木便当盒的功能性在于，当米饭的水分过多时能吸收水分，而水分不足时能释放水分，这种设计体现了先人们的聪明智慧。
即使米饭冷却后仍能保持美味，这绝非偶然，杉木便当盒通过调节湿度，防止米饭干燥或过度湿润，从而保持最佳湿度。
这可能是400年前先人们开发的一种高科技材料。
使用相同的食材可以使餐食更加美味和安全。
秋田杉因其细腻均匀的美丽木纹而闻名，而「曲げわっぱ」的材料则只使用其中的年轮柾目部分。
从一根杉木原木中，只有约三成的材料可以使用，这也显示出所用材料的严选程度。
所有的制作过程都由工匠们手工完成。
工匠们将杉木柾目板用热水煮沸变软，然后在热时迅速弯曲。
这一瞬间决定了一切，因此需要高超的技术和经验来掌握力量。
弯曲后的わっぱ用樱皮缝合。
完成后会进行打磨、底漆、研磨、中层漆、研磨、最后涂装等步骤，耗费大量时间和精力制作而成。
这个便当盒的形状是「はんごう」，柔和的曲线形成了独特而迷人的形状。
可以将二段分开使用，分别装米饭和菜肴，也可以只使用一段，按照使用者的饭量，有三种不同的使用方式。
由于一段和二段的容量不同，可以根据需求进行选择使用。
尺寸：宽17厘米，深9厘米，高9.5厘米
容量：上段390cc，下段500cc
