It is said to originate from the way lumberjacks would fill their lunchboxes to the brim with rice. While cedar is usually used, Sakai Sangyo's menpa uses cypress, a specialty of Kiso, for the bent ring portion. Each layer weighs about 90 grams. We want you to be surprised when you hold it. It's light and easy to carry. Furthermore, the lacquer used for the coating is said to have antibacterial properties, making it a lunchbox that has been a part of daily life from ancient times to the present day, filled with traditional wisdom.
