Bento Boxes and Other Japanese Goodies

[Collectonian]

A friend passed this on to me and I just had to share. The Bento Obento Shop (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=1113704&mpre=http%3A//stores.ebay.com/Bento-Obento-Shop) has bento boxes and various accessories. The Bento TV show the shop owner runs is also very fun watching (yesterday's episode showed how to make the hot dog octopus :D).

Having never bought an bento box before, can anyone let me know if the prices in the shop are fairly good?

Prices aren't too bad, really. I'm a big bento fan, and I've shopped from The Bento Store (http://stores.ebay.com/id=50870679&ssPageName=STRK:MEFS:MESST), hellokittie76 (http://contact.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ReturnUserEmail&requested=hellokitti e76&frm=1883&ssPageName=STRK:ME:UID), and Tokyo Gift (http://stores.ebay.com/id=214381128&ssPageName=STRK:MEFS:MESST) in the past. All great bento/bento supply dealers.

I see you have a Livejournal, so you should join the Bentolunch community (http://community.livejournal.com/bentolunch/). I post there whenever I make a bento for lunch. /images/graemlins/happy.gif

Obviously not all of them, but a fair number of things there are sold in Target's $1 shelf, including the hello kitty ice pack and the "Hello Kitty Green Bento Containers", which is tupperware type stuff that doesn't seal.
