It’s no secret that we love Hapa Bento. Consistently a source of great ideas, we also love how fantastic Debra makes our bento boxes look. This time is no exception. Take a peek at our Mio boxes, filled with goodies I now desperately want for lunch!
Want your own set of Mio? Debra said it all better than I could so here’s our fun surprise!
“I saved the best for last. Our friends at Japanistic have put together a special set to kick off our “back-to-school” series! It’s the adorable “Mio” set including both the bento boxes featured in today’s lunch plus the matching beverage bottle! How cool is that?!
You can purchase this “hapa bento set” at a discounted back-to-school price of $42.25 versus the $46.95 if you bought each piece separately. To take advantage of this special event and get the details, visit japanistic.com and they’ll take it from there. This set is available while supplies last.
If you’ve been wanting to try making bentos, for your kids, yourself or spouse, now is a good time as any to start. At a discount!” (via)
Debra, at Hapa Bento, has outdone herself again. After her terrific post last month where she showcased both her talents, and the single-tier Elph’s Bento, Debra has made a tasty looking snack in the Elph’s 2-level bento. Check it out.
The bear faces are made from Cheese and Nori. And as she says “Who doesn’t want cute bears at lunch?” Agreed.
According to Debra, “The top tier, along with the bears, contains a veggie burger omelet, sun dried olives, snap peas and enoki mushrooms. The second or bottom tier has a mandarin, sweet potato, tomato, green olives, and pistachio crunch.” (via)
After seeing this, I’m feeling inspired. Clearly, I need to step it up for my son’s lunch. And a cheese and nori bear just might do the trick…

Japanistic and our Elph’s Bento Box got a wonderful shout-out on Hapa Bento yesterday, complete with terrific photography and a lunch I am now craving, even though it’s still early morning.
Here’s just a bit of what she had to say about our Bento: ”very colorful and cute, perfect for a child’s meal or a snack box!…But besides the stylish cover art, another super feature of this bento is that it has a bit of ‘head room’ so when I close the box…the lid doesn’t smash the contents. Love. It.” (via)
My only problem now is worrying that my son will see this, and recognize that my own lunches are severely sub-par!
