Urara Red Rabbit 2 Tier Japanese Bento Box Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I use these for myself & my kids all the time. They can hold way more food than one would think possible. Many times, I only use the large compartment, instead of both tiers. My kids are constantly asked at school, "Where did you get those cute lunchboxes?!" I tend to use the red one for myself because it makes me giggle. I KNOW the character is supposed to be a bunny but, it looks like a space alien. Plus, on the lids of all 3 colors, it says "U RA RA Lube Sheep," I believe that is Engrish for 'Ooh-la-la, lube sheep." It just goes along with the joy of Bentos, in my mind; presenting the food in such a way that makes you grin - food tastes better when you are smiling. I actually bought a bunch of different styles of Bento Boxes, some very expensive and I just keep going back to these ones. I recently gave all the pricier ones to a co-worker because these work better for me. I also reccomend getting a few goofy accessories to go with these beacause of the grin factor; "cupcake" pics, craft punches, cookie cutters, and cake decorating supplies are generally less expensive that accessories that are marketed for bentos.

Urara Blue Dragonfly 2 Tier Japanese Bento Box Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for myself as a birthday present a year ago when I wanted an inexpensive bento box. I absolutely love this one! It is really cute, and I bought a matching fork that fits under the top lid. Two things I would like to point out:
1) You NEED to buy, make, or find some kind of elastic band to hold the layers together tightly. The 2 tiers do not seal and will not stay together without it. This is not a container for really juicy or wet foods like soup. It is best to pack sauces in separate small containers and add at mealtime (tastes better that way anyway).
2) This will look way too small to you when you open it. Make sure you read online about how to properly pack a bento lunch before making judgments about the size. Packed correctly, this lunchbox will hold approximately a 580 calorie meal. This means the food will be packed snugly and strategically so that there is no air space left. I am a very tall person and this will pack a perfect sized lunch that prevents me from overeating and becoming lethargic at work.
The only reason I rated this as 4 stars instead of 5 is that I really think you need to buy additional accessories (at least an elastic band) to make it complete.
**UPDATE: Apparently this comes with a complimentary elastic band, although it is not shown. Problem solved! 5 stars. If possible, try to buy the matching small fork that fits under the lid. Very convenient and stylish.
