I need to get one for a culture presentation for my Japanese class. Any ideas where I can find some? ^_^

Mods? is this thread valid?

I have no idea but is it even possible to buy bento boxes online?

does that qualify as a post?

do you want just the box, or box and food in it...?

You want Frey Bentos from the UK? http://www.expatdirect.co.uk/products.asp?id=tinnedproduce&subcat=Pies

wonder how that would taste when it gets to my doorstep...

You can have bentou boxes from JList (Bentou section). As for one with food in it, I don't think it's possible. You can't even cross the Canada-USA border with a hot-dog and they're probably made and package at the same place.

Unless you want your bentou quarantine for 40 days, I wouldn't recommend it.

yeah, i was going to mention jlist.com too... i've ordered from them before...luckily the asian markets around me have bento boxes there.

Never had problems with JList. They ship fast and you don't have to pay taxes and custom fees.

yeah, my buddy bought a case of those Rhoto Z eyedrops.

let it roll then.....seems like this thread is taking off, for now anyways.

Ahh thanks.

And I didn't need any food in the bento.
I'd be afraid if the food was bad by the time it arrived..

No problems.

@krim Oh yeah the minty eyedrops... It must burn like crazy.

So you just need the box, ne?

Try Mitsuwa or Marukai, if there's one around.....

Had it been food it would be loaded with perservatives

or maybe those wax food models that are on display at many japanese restaurants.
