'How about lunch together? I made a rice ball for you today.'

We are ecstatic that we are finally able to offer you Shinzi Katoh bento boxes and aluminum trekking bottles!

Shinzi Katoh is a famous Japanese artist, well-known for illustrating children's books. He is also a Zakka designer. 'Zakka is a broad term used to describe anything that improves or spruces up your home or life and often refers to a common household object infused with Japanese cute.'

Well, Shinzi Katoh bento boxes are definitely Japanese cute! We will have a hard time parting with these little pieces of art. To say they make you smile is an understatement.

What is a bento box you ask? Bento is a single-portion takeout or home-packed meal common in Japanese cuisine. A traditional bento consists of rice, fish or meat, and one or more pickled or cooked vegetables as a side dish. Bento can be very elaborately arranged. Surf around the internet and you will find some beautiful creations, sure to inspire even the busiest mom!

And we leave you with a quote from Shinzi's website..'ZAKKA -- the things that make people feel happy and exist like a comfortable air. This is what we always keep in our heart when we create new designs.'
