How to choose the right Tokyo Melamine Bento Boxes & Barware

• Consider the size of your buffet or counter area and select bento outer boxes that fit your available space without crowding.
• Choose insert combinations based on your menu, allowing enough compartments for mains, sides, sauces and garnishes.
• Decide between black, white or wood-effect finishes to complement your existing tableware and interior design.
• Match salad box capacities to your service volume so you can hold enough product without excessive waste.
• Think about service style, whether self-service buffet, counter display or plated service, and select depths and shapes accordingly.
• Plan for future menu changes by opting for modular pieces that can be reconfigured for different dishes and themes.

Care and maintenance

• Clean melamine pieces with non-abrasive detergents and soft cloths to preserve their smooth finish and appearance.
• Avoid harsh scouring pads or strong chemicals that can dull the surface or cause discolouration over time.
• Check regularly for chips or cracks and remove damaged items from service to maintain hygiene and presentation standards.
• Allow items to cool before stacking after dishwashing to prevent warping and ensure long-term durability.
• Store bento boxes and inserts stacked neatly to save space while avoiding excessive weight on top pieces.
• Follow manufacturer guidance on dishwasher suitability and maximum temperature for safe, consistent cleaning.
