I was so excited to get this, as I gazed at it, in wide-eyed, slack jawed wonder at the enormous size of it, I realized that it must go back.
The box is fine, lovely picture, and it has a divided insert for the top box, it seems well made - (note the divider will not keep small items, crackers or nuts separate as there is space along top and bottom for leakage between the divider. Since the divider isnt even mentioned I dont think this is mark against it) I dont want to give it a bad review, as the dimensions are right there, in black and white: a 7.5 inch square that is almost 5 inches high. think about it a while....
It just didnt compute in my head - until I got this. If you are looking at a bento to aid in portion control, this is not the box. If this is a box for a grade schooler - this is not the box.
If this is a bento for a sumo wrestler, or a football player, or more like a football team - you may have found a winner. Before you order this, and pay almost 50.00 for a luch box, make a little paper model the size of the above dimensions.
If this is for portion control, or a kid, or you want it to fit in your bag or briefcase, go with the other saikon cat bentos - they are much more reasonably sized.

This container is SUPER cute. I was really excited when it arrived as I planned on getting back to making my lunches at home. The only thing is for one person it is GIGANTIC! They could have made it half the size or done with only 1 tier instead of two stackable ones. Trust me, once you start filling it up you'll be shocked at how much room there is.
I do love that it comes with removable dividers, which helps with allocating space in the bento.
I recommend this more as a great travel pack if two people are going to have a quick picnic. Or this could also be good if you're having two meals out in the office as you could use one tier for each meal.
If you're getting this just for one person then I would recommend you buy the smaller Kotobuki 2-Tiered Bento Box, Sakon Cat instead.

Even though another reviewer cautioned how huge this box is and to make a model of the measurements, I cheerfully ignored that and ordered anyway. Really really cute, sturdy box, comes with a set of dividers and a band, but this is definitely a "picnic" box, as in picnic for a family. I buy the bigger bento boxes because I work long shifts and typically pack 2 meals plus a snack but I'm not sure if even I can fill this one. Still, I love it and am definitely keeping it. Most folks would probably be better off with the 2 tiered Saxon cat box unless specifically looking for a picnic style box.
