I have a never-ending search for the perfect bento box that has not been satisfied. BUT! it may soon will be because one of my favorite bento box blogs has made a map of where to buy bento items in local stores.

Check out her blog, its pretty great.

A couple of other bento blogs i likes:

A lot of the bento boxes i like are from the brand Lock n' Lock like you see here:

Lock n' Lock store website

but i want to see it in real life

and fit n' fresh products also look interesting, especially this one.

also also, check out this cute bento ring

re: store locator

there's a fairly sizable japanese food store on ellsworth. they may have bento boxes. you know they're good because their website's default language is japanese. http://www.tokyostorepgh.com/en.html

I have one of the laptop lunch varieties and I like it pretty well. It's not good for packing a salad or a sandwich though, so I've been thinking about getting an additional box in the aluminum style, but am having trouble finding the one I want. Also, I need a good thermos for packing soups.

Andrea, http://www.kleankanteen.com/ might have a thermos you'd like. I got one to use as a water bottle and it's worked great. You can put it in a dishwasher and hit into it with stuff with no problem. If you're going to put hot soup in it, you'd have to get one of the covers in the "accessories" part of the site.

wow... there is such a wealth of bento knowledge in the partymode community!

:D starting threads tha tpeople care about, since like last week or so, and kinda with a shitty hit ratio... ITS JONBRO!

I am interested in going to the japan store and seeing what they got kicking around there, but I am pretty sure I can hold it down with the crappy containers we already have, also due to my access to a fridge at work, most of these 'special' boxes are kinda a moot point. also all of the cutesy stuff is a moot point, in fact it may be detrimental to my mental health.

soooo, where can I get black and red lacquer boxes...

re: onny's Japanese Food Store

I have been to that place and must say that it is fairly awesome. I dunno if they will have good bento boxes, but you must must must get their Tofo with sauce. Its like a pudding, but its actually tofu. UM UM UM. You would find it in the refrigerated section.
