ICHIKUDO Bento Calendar 2026

ICHIKUDO Bento Calendar 2026

The bento (boxed lunch) is a cherished part of Japanese culture, loved both in Japan and around the world for its beauty, balance, and the care it represents, as well as its practicality for serving or packing a meal. A bento can contain vibrant colors, balanced nutrition, and the care and passion of its creators. 

A 12-month calendar is contained in a pulp-molded box designed to resemble a traditional lunch box, with each month featuring a unique bento inspired by seasonal ingredients and occasions such as osechi (New Year’s dishes) in January, children’s bento in May, and Christmas bento in December. It offers a feast for both the eyes and heart. Enjoy the detailed menus on the back of each card, and access recipes by scanning the “Otemoto” QR code to experience authentic bento culture all year round.
