Skater rice ball rice box lunch box My Neighbor Totoro house made in Japan POT 5

The media could not be loaded. Let's jump right in. This is a bit small. That said I was expecting it. I read the reviews and read the description and knew it was going to be small. I don't know what others are so upset about. Now this isn't an issue for me. This is a child's bento box so the size for my children is perfect. It is adorable. It is partially leak proof. The top of the box/house shape isn't leak proof but the bottom with the brown lid is. Brown lid is flexible and feels rubbery. You just need to seal it good. If you are unsure about the size, pull out a measuring tape and get an idea of the size so you don't wind up disappointed.

Some of these reviews clearly don't realize or understand that this is for making and storing, very specifically, Japanese onigiri. The box and maker look absolutely tiny when you first open it. But let me tell you, three of those rice balls especially if you add some kind of core to them, like tuna, will fill you right up. Room in the bottom for some fruits or a little side. Don't underestimate it! If you are expecting a massive Tupperware you will be disappointed, because it just simply isn't that. It does what it does very well, hold 3 mini onigiri very well and with a cute design. I found that 1 of the microwave sushi rice bowl things that you find at most grocery stores perfectly creates 3 onigiri. The rice packs and slides out of the mould cleanly and effectively. Some lady on here was trying to use that thing as a separate container and was upset that it leaks and doesn't fit in the main container. It's a mould... it's not supposed to go into there, you leave that at home. I love this thing, and use it all the time. Making the onigiri is a breeze, it takes longer to cook the rice that make them. 👍

A bit baffled with all the reviews saying they can’t fit anything inside this. I made 3 decent sized origiri stuffed with crispy baby crabs and a spicy sunomono salad. 1 cup of uncooked sushi/short grain rice will make 5 origiri with the provided mold. I mix the rice with sesame oil, soy sauce and furikake seasoning. Rice balls don’t stick to the mold at all and come out beautifully. The bottom compartment is perfect for a little side salad or fruits. I really love this cute little lunchbox!

This Totoro onigiri lunchbox is soooo adorable! I love that it comes with its own onigiri mold. The mold seems smaller than you might usually make an onigiri, but I think it is perfect, because I don't like huge rice balls. I also found that if you do not want to put rice balls in the top section, that a small apple will fit in there. This is NOT a huge bento box...and isn't meant to be. So, if you bring big sandwiches or salads for lunch...keep looking. I think it would comfortably fit a sliced up wrap in the bottom section with some fruit in the top section...or maybe a few onigiri in the top section & some protein & a veg in the bottom section.

Really adorable lunch box

It is smaller than you’d think but still fits enough for a lunch. I use it for work a few times a week.

I bought this onigiri box for a ten year old. She loves Totoro. It came smaller than I thought, but she doesn’t eat that much, and she is only allowed a string backpack at school so she is glad it is small. She takes a couple of onigiri or half a sandwich and a cookie on the top shelf, and fresh fruit and veggies packed into the bottom. The design is adorable. It has lasted 4 months so far in excellent condition with daily use. We hand wash it easily.

LOVE it - is super cute. It's smaller than I thought but is fine. The product bag was open when I got it and was missing the mold. I was able to use small rectangle ones but part of why I got this was it had the mold and the storage container.
