 A much better size, BEAUTIFUL designJun 05, 2010
By Crystal Watanabe
"Pikko"
I own a Mr. Bento lunch jar and that thing is so massive that I rarely use it because I don't always have the time to pack 4 layers of food. I also own a little Mini Bento, but gosh darn it, that one is a little too small and much better suited for my 1st grader. I got this from Zojirushi to do a review and have to say that this one is finally just the right size, even though it's called the same thing as my other Mini Bento.
The side dish containers are slightly bigger than the other Mini Bento and are rectangular instead of circular. It fits just the right amount of food for my liking and the bag is just beautiful. It's got a zipper full across the top with a nice pull. Inside the bag, you put the thermal jar in with the two sides, then there's a detachable (with velcro) folding holder for your drink. There's also a pocket to tuck a small bag of snacks inside, like maybe fruit leather or a mini pouch of popcorn. The set also comes with a pair of white chopsticks in a matching blue holder.
The food in the photo is a little deceiving, as you can't put the lids on with food sticking out like that, but you can definitely stuff a lot of little goodies in. The thermal jar would be really great to fill with a hearty stew or curry, then top with a "rice hat". Veggies and eggs can go in one side and fruit for dessert in the other.
People serious about packing home lunch that want to do it with adult style will no doubt love this set. It's probably better suited for medium appetites, so think hard about how much food you want to pack every day before you take the plunge with one of these products, because the price tag can be hard to swallow. If you only intend to own one lunch set though, it's hard to go wrong with a Zojirushi one.

Next step up from Ms Bento.Sep 14, 2010
By C. Rigby
My daughter got through daycare, preschool, and grade K on the Ms Bento size. It worked out great and could still keep going! But her appetite got bigger so we moved to the next step up to this mini bento set. We also went for the matching thermos for drinks. It is easy to wash and I'm confident we could make it to 5th grade on this set.

Love this bag.May 02, 2011
By K. P.

We bought this for our daughter to use at school. We have had such little luck with durability and storage with kids lunch bags, and she wanted a way to bring hot food to school. This is a perfect bag. Very little cons about it. The space is big and can fit quite a bit in there. The little storage containers are perfect for child sized snacks, and easy for her to open herself. There is a space for her to put her water bottle inside the bag, standing upright which she loves. We eat a lot of asian food, and she is so happy to have her own set of chopsticks to eat like her daddy. The container that keeps food cold or hot is great, and it works. She took some macaroni and cheese to school and it was hot when she opened it at lunchtime after packing it at 7:30 in the morning. When she came home and I opened it to clean it, what was left inside was still slightly warm! At 4:20 in the afternoon!!
The cons are:
The bag zips, but there are 2 small openings on either side of the zipper. Some things have fallen out, the chopsticks being one of them.
The container to hold hot/cold food is not leak proof, so her hope to bring soup with her can't be done.
No english version of directions came with this, not that you really need it. However, for me it took a photo to show me to pour hot water into the metal container and let it heat up, dump it out and then put in the insert with the hot food to keep it hot.
Really, aside from not being leak proof, these other things are not a big deal.
We will be purchasing more of these bags, since my son will be going to school next year and we would like him to have a durable and good lunchbag.
Highly recommended.

Versatile and perfect for lunch at school or officeSep 04, 2010
By stargirl
I love this lunchbox system for my daughter and myself. It keeps food safely hot for hours, while at the same time the other containers stay cool. The container sizes are perfect for healthy eating and portion control, which is very important these days. Like the other reviewer stated, I wish the instructions were available in English, but that is a minor issue. This lunch box is quite pricy, but I think it is well worth the money if it keeps my family eating healthy lunches maintained at a safe temperature throughout the day, plus it is darned cute! I hope the manufacturer will make one that would appeal to boys as well. No way my son would be caught with this in is locker.

Just as picturedJul 27, 2011
By Sabrina Hays
The bag is cute and the containers are exactly as they look. I like it.
I just wish that the instructions with the warnings were in english. There seems to be alot of warnings and care instructions but I am not able to read them. I do not know if they are microwave safe or if they can be put in the dishwasher or not. It is all in Japanese. :(
