Kishu Hinoki Cypress Bento Box S-4 by Tsunoda Seibei — a slim lunch box of fragrant Kishu cypress, hand-finished at a pace of ten a day.
Made by Tsunoda Seibei craftsmen in Wakayama.
The Design Story
The Kii Peninsula has been Japan’s timber country for centuries, and its hinoki cypress is among the most prized woods in the country. Tsunoda Seibei’s craftsmen in Wakayama shape it into boxes at a pace of roughly ten a day, finishing every one by hand.
Why You’ll Love It
Open the lid and the first thing you notice is the scent of hinoki, clean and woody. The pale cypress keeps rice tender rather than soggy, and lunch tastes the way it should even when it has gone cold. The proportions are elegant, the joinery is invisible and the divider keeps everything tidy. It turns a packed lunch into a small ritual.
Made for Real Life
A nano coating means it can go in the dishwasher, though a gentle wash with a soft sponge keeps it at its best. Avoid very hot water, alkaline detergents and scouring pads.

Questions We Hear Most
What size is the hinoki bento S-4 in centimetres?
About 19.6 × 8.4 × 5.8 cm.
Does the cypress bento box have compartments?
Yes, a divider separates two sections so flavors don’t mix.
Can the cypress bento box go in a dishwasher?
Yes, its nano coating makes it dishwasher safe; hand washing gently is kinder still.
What does hinoki do for food?
It absorbs excess moisture, keeping food fresh and flavorful even once it cools.
What should I pack in it? (our advice)
Rice, grilled fish or vegetables, salads and sandwiches rather than liquid dishes.
Will my bento box match the photo exactly?
The grain and tone of natural wood vary, so each box is a little different.
