BENTO CALENDAR 2026 / ICHIKUDO (Masahiro Kasahara)

BENTO CALENDAR 2026 brings Japan’s beloved “bento” culture to your desk. Each month features a different bento menu—January’s osechi, May’s kids’ bento, December’s Christmas bento—showcasing seasonal ingredients and iconic Japanese dishes. The calendar cards are housed in a pulp-mold box shaped like a bento, and the back of each card lists the full menu. Scan the chopsticks’ QR code to view recipes supervised by chef Masahiro Kasahara for authentic flavors you can try at home.

Celebrated for its color, balance, and heartfelt care, bento has become popular worldwide. This calendar was created to share that spirit in an approachable, delightful format you can enjoy all year.
