Bento Gear Vendors
BentoandCo, Kyoto, Japan - fast and reasonable shipping, wide variety of boxes and accessories
LunchAPorter, Montreal, Canada - great service, good prices, unique bento items and staples
CasaBento - large variety, good prices, but questionable customer service and shipping notification
NOT the place to order if you need it quickly, but a good place to find that "one" unique
item, orders taken in Singapore, items shipped from France - caveat emptor
JBox, Japan - I haven't ordered from here, they seem to have inventory issues from time to time, but
others have ordered from here with success.
SugarCharms - A U.S.-based retailer with a nice variety of quirky bento boxes including Shinzi Katoh
onigiri cases and the "brioche" loaf Nagoya bento box. Great service, carefully packaged
and quickly shipped.
Queen Baby Bean - infant and toddler accessories retailer, but they sell Shinzi Katoh onigiri boxes
Komikku - boutique Parisienne specialiste en bento et accessories, vente en-ligne, pas encore essaye
Bento Media:
I love the 'Cooking with Dog' series found on YouTube. Amusing concept, but very practical step-by-step instructions on preparing traditional Japanese dishes.
