Matsuya Shikkiten produces and distributes Echizen Lacquerware since 1905, lacquerware with 1500 years of tradition.
Original goods of "Shirakinuri," born in 2002, are coated with paint that maximizes the grain of shiraki (plain wood) and finished with a transparent, low-gloss urethane coating. One of their features is their natural texture, as they produce a feeling of material similar to the state of shiraki (plain wood).
An interiorly vermilion-lacquered version of this good was used in the movie "Megane."
It's a nest of boxes playing a very active part in events such as home parties, sports days, picnics, and cherry-blossom viewing parties. It could, of course, be used for Japanese traditional New Year's dishes as well. The simple and beautiful nest of boxes matches any kind of dish and useful in every kind of situation. They are easy to be cared for and maintained, as fried foods can be put as well.
I recently purchased the Matsuya Shikkiten lunch box from your site, and I wanted to write to thank you for your exceptional service. The package arrived safely and incredibly fast (only two days from Japan to the U.S., even over the weekend!) I absolutely love my box. I’ve used it for one of my meals, and it was such a delight to arrange everything so beautifully and enhance my dining experience at home. I spent a long time looking for a good wooden bento box, and I am so happy to have found your site.
Looking forward to purchasing from you again!

Just got my package and want to pass my deepest appreciation to you all. I
LOVE all the products I purchased and THANK YOU for packaging them up so
carefully. This is my first time buying from you, but I am now your big fan!
I will definitely recommend your store on my network. Thank you again, and I
will follow your facebook page and promote your store on my network! Really
love it and thank you. I am a big fan of your store and a big fan of
anything made in Japan. One of my struggles living outside of Japan is that most
of the Japanese brands don't ship internationally - as such, I am very
happy that I found your website and store.
