Japanese Bento Chunky Puzzle

Description

The Kawaii Hawai‘i Neko Bento is a playful ode to the traditional Japanese bento, with an extra dose of cuteness — cats. Introduced to Hawai‘i by Japanese immigrants in the early 20th century, bento boxes have become a beloved part of local cuisine, celebrated for their balance, flavor, and charm. This sturdy wooden puzzle brings that legacy to life with a touch of whimsy and a trio of plumeria-adorned kitties.

Featuring miso soup, green tea, tempura, sushi, chicken katsu, salad, and mochi, it’s a feast of flavor and fun for little hands.

kawaii means cute. neko means cat.
