Disposable Bento Box Large - 50 Units
228 x 228 x 50mm, five compartments, black outside and red inside: a takeaway bento that still looks like it came from your dining room.
These are Japanese-made disposable bento boxes in the large size, packed 50 to a case. Each is 228mm square and 50mm deep, split into five compartments so rice, a main and three sides travel without running into each other. The black exterior and red interior borrow the colours of lacquered bento boxes, so a takeaway still looks considered when the lid comes off. The lid clips onto the base.
Why Chefs Choose This
- Five compartments: keeps rice, mains, pickles and sides apart in transit
- Restaurant look: black and red echo lacquered bento, so takeaway looks like your dining room
- Generous size: 228 x 228mm with 50mm depth takes a full meal rather than a snack
- Clip-on lid: the lid fits onto the base so food stays in place on the way to the customer
How to Use
- Takeaway and delivery: plate the meal as you would in the restaurant, clip the lid on and bag it
- Catering: line them up for events and office lunches where every portion should match
- Bento sets: rice in the large section, then a main, pickles, salad and a sweet in the rest
- Storage: stack them flat in their packs until service to save space
Bento (弁当) is Japan's packed meal, and a good one is judged as much by how it is arranged as by what is in it. Separate compartments keep flavours and textures apart and let each part of the meal be seen. The black and red colouring comes from the lacquered boxes (塗り, nuri) that formal bento has long been served in, where black outside and red inside is a classic combination. These disposable versions carry that look into takeaway and catering.

What fits in a large five-compartment bento box?
A full meal. The usual layout is rice in the largest section, a main such as teriyaki chicken, katsu or grilled salmon in the next, then small portions of pickles, salad, tamagoyaki or a sweet in the remaining three. At 50mm deep there is room for a proper portion of rice without packing it down. Keep wet items and sauces in their own compartment, or in a separate pot, so they do not seep into fried food on the way.

Can I microwave these bento boxes?
They are not designed for reheating. If the food needs warming, transfer it to a heatproof dish first. Pack hot food just before collection or delivery rather than reheating it in the box.
Why do some lids look like they are missing?
The lids nest tightly in the pack and two can stick together so closely that they look like one. Separate them carefully before service so you do not end up a lid short on a busy night.
Are they suitable for sushi and sashimi?
Yes, for takeaway. The compartments keep sushi, sashimi, ginger and wasabi apart, and the black and red colours suit raw fish. Keep the boxes chilled until collection, and put soy sauce in sachets or a separate pot rather than straight into a compartment.
