2.Square 2-tier

In Kyushu (South part of Japan) region,
a long time ago, this type of small basket was used to be children’s lunch boxes.

Lunch baskets with lids are made of woven bamboo and have good ventilation.
Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer craftsmen producing these baskets,
and they are becoming scarce.

The texture of White bamboo goes well with rice balls, sushi, sandwiches, and bread.
The good thing is that it allows for good ventilation and keeps the food inside from getting stuffy.

However, side dishes and other juicy foods will leak out of the basket,
so it is best to use a small Tupperware or similar container inside.
It is also a good idea to use a sheet of cooking paper or wax paper.

At the end of use, if dirty, rinse with water using a scrub brush or sponge, drain well, remove the lid, and dry thoroughly.

If the basket is clean after use, such as by using paper in the basket,
it is a recommended that you wipe it down well with a tightly squeezed dish towel,
open the lid, and let it dry well.

If you put fried food in the basket and get oil on it,
scrub it with a scrub brush dipped in a small amount of mild detergent and then rinse well with water.

It is also useful for holding sewing and handicraft tools.
It would also be good as a small accessory box, a first-aid kit, or a stationery box.
Please enjoy it in various scenes.

Please select one of the types you prefer.
