Kobo Aizawa

Kobo Aizawa is a historic Japanese manufacturer known for its high-quality stainless steel kitchenware, including its iconic bento lunch boxes and kettles.

Founded in 1922 in Tsubame City, Niigata Prefecture, the center of Japan’s metal craftsmanship, the brand has spent over a century perfecting functional, minimalist designs that blend beauty with everyday usability. Their dedication to craftsmanship has earned them international recognition, including a place in the Museum of Modern Art’s permanent design collection.

What makes Kobo Aizawa stand out is its function-first philosophy. Every product is crafted to enhance the user’s experience, without unnecessary ornamentation. Their famous double-tier bento boxes are designed so each food item can be enjoyed separately, preventing flavors from mixing and preserving the freshness and integrity of every meal.

Kobo Aizawa exclusively uses high-grade 18-8 stainless steel, chosen for its exceptional durability, odor resistance, stain resistance, and easy maintenance. This premium material ensures that their bento boxes and kitchen tools remain clean, hygienic, and long-lasting.
