Bento Lunch Boxes

Bento Lunch Boxes

Our favorite reusable lunch boxes are fun for kids and adults alike.

The ancient Japanese tradition of packing lunch in a bento box, a decorative container with small compartments, elevates the take-along lunch. Bento lunches usually contain a wide variety of foods in artful arrangements; plus, the compartments of a bento box help control portion sizes. The stackable bowls shown here with Salmon Salad Bento [7] ($19-$39, vivodirect.com) make it easy to “brown bag it”—without wasting any bags. The bento box pictured with the Pizza Roll-Up Bento Lunch [8] is perfect for kids ($22.99, laptoplunches.com).
