is the threadstarter talking about bento that is made with real food, or one that is made as display, just like they would have in front of the restaurant?

Ahh thanks. Big Grin

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

I can make a bento and ship it for free too!

Cost of labor however, is $99.99+tax.

(I do not guarantee freshness or customer satisfaction)

nah, i wouldn't consider selling those.. I think my parents may have used them before too.. so they should be over 30 yrs old now.

Yeah, so true.


However, I see there are no takers. Sad

Shucks. Should I lower the price a bit?

Cool Smile

I found a store a long time ago. They used to have bentou boxes. Now, it seems they don't. They have all sort of dishes like bowls and tea sets. Not sure if they're good or not, but they have nice things.
