Leave it to the Japanese to innovate sack lunches!
I purchased this lunch kit after seeing a co-worker many years ago with a Nissan version. I have a Zojirushi rice cooker, so I know they make quality stuff. After re-reading the reviews between the Mr Bento and the Nissan version, I bought the Mr Bento b/c of the volume of favorable reviews as well as other tangibles, such as the carrying case, spoon, and the cool design.
Product-wise, I am very happy. Despite some negative reviews about it not being insulated, I really dont understand what they are talking about. ... Read More

Very well made, the pieces are of high quality.
PROS:
=====
* The shoulder sling is adjustable
* Very high quailty construction
* Works well to keep foods cold until lunch after spending the night in the fridge.
* Easy to clean despite not being dishwasher safe
CONS:
=====
* Spork pocket inside keeps the spork rather loose and isn't well made
* Rubber seal ring in soup container hard to remove, even with short nails
* Directions lacking for how to (if at all) use the venter(?) on the soup container

I wasn't a big leftovers person until I got my Mr. Bento lunchbox. It works particularly well for Asian meals, but of course it is infinitely adaptable. You're only limited by your creativity!

Rating: - Does Leak
I got this for my mother who brings lunch to work everyday. She loves it especially the black carrying bag. She did say the 2nd to bottom container did leak, however the bottom container does not leak. It comes with a cute spork. Each lid seemed to close differently. Very cute set.

This is a nifty little product. I bought 2. I pack up leftover's from dinner for my husband's lunch the next day. I warm it up in the microwave before he leaves for work and by lunch time it is still warm. He loves it for it's convenience, that he doesn't have to stick it in the fridge, that he doesn't have to wait in line to use the microwave and he feels very "avante garde" when all the containers are displayed out waiting to be eaten. It also comes with a stainless steel spork which is so convenient! I use the other Mr. Bento for me and my kids for playdates at the park. I pack fruits and finger ... Read More
