Elph?s Bento Box

Look what arrived in the mail today!  This awesomely cute “Elph’s Circus” bento box from Japanistic!

I’ve been collecting a lot of boxes lately so yes, you can say I’ve been on a “bento binge”!   My bento-gear cupboards are overflowing… but how could I resist this unique looking bento box!  Very colorful and cute, perfect for child’s meal or a snack box!

And this snack is for …guess who?  Yep, it’s for Saba Man and contains a hard boiled egg, inarizushi, edamame, takuwan, radish, tomatoes and carrots!   I decided on nori punched bears (for egg details) to go with the bear motif on the cover but I may have to hunt down an elephant punch soon! 

But besides the stylish cover art, another super  feature of this bento is that it has a bit of  ”head room” so when I close the box… the lid doesn’t smash the contents. 

Love. It.

I’m excited to have Japanistic  as a supporter of the hapa bento blog  as they have some cool and well designed Japanese items!  If  you haven’t yet visited their site please take a look.  Their BPA free bento boxes are adorable and they have quite a few that I’ve never seen before.  Like the Elph and Elpha line.  Who doesn’t love a cute elephant?   Japanistic also offers free shipping for orders over $50.00!

Hey! Wouldn’t some radishes cut into mushrooms look really cool in this box?  I’ll  have to remember that for next time…
