In a bit of a twist from yesterday’s post- it’s food that looks like an object (irony, but not). Below is a collection of some of the coolest bento boxes I’ve been able to find. The below is food, that look like things or characters.
Where I could I tracked down the original artists while I couldn’t for all of them- if you know the company or artist who made them, post it in the comments. These are far, far too awesome to go unattributed.
Nintendo DS Bento Box
This is a bento box that is made to look like an Nintendo DS. If you are a gamer or not, this is pretty cool.

Katamari Damacy Bento Box
Personally this one would be hard to eat, it’s too cute.
Wall-E Bento Box
Wall-E has always gotten to me with those incredibly sad eyes (for what it may be worth, no- I haven’t seen the movie yet).
Calvin and Hobbs Bento Box
Of course the greatest comic ever would make the best bento box ever.
Artist: AnnaTheRed
Bioshock Bento Box (Big Daddy & Little Sister)
If you aren’t familiar with the Bioshock games, the big guy is called a Big Daddy and the girl on the shoulders is called a Little Sister.
Artist: AnnaTheRed
Mario Bento Box
It’s-ah Mario!
Traditional Japanese Art- In Bento Box Form
The above is beyond fantastic. I love the use of colors and the food itself, and besides the traditional Japanese paintings are already beyond wonderful.
Hello Kitty Bento Box
Hello Kitty! Okay I have a huge obsession (I know, I know – along with almost everybody else).
These are soooo cute! I don't think I could actually eat any of them though!
