The Just Bento Cookbook 2: Make-Ahead, Easy, Healthy Lunches To Go Review: Just Bento, leveled up! - The Just Bento Cookbook 2 is wonderful! It retains the same easy-to-follow format of the first book, while adding more highlighted hints and tips sections, and more pictorial how-to instructions, which are all excellent upgrades, in my opinion. I have used the first Just Bento Cookbook regularly for years, and this one retains all of the things I love about the original, while making smart adjustments that keep modern lifestyles in mind, such as the “express” section for those days you need a faster option. The photos are beautiful, the recipes are very easy to follow, and there are ample descriptions and definitions of any ingredients or methods you may be unfamiliar with or intimidated by, making bento not only totally accessible for just about anyone, but thoroughly enjoyable as well. I highly recommend both Just Bento and Just Bento 2! Review: VERY much worth the wait! - I pre-ordered this book as soon as it was announced, waited for what seemed a long time, and am not at all disappointed. This time the focus is on ease and efficiency of preparation, which gives more options in the long run. This lady is the leading English-speaking expert on bento and her insights on obtaining and preparing all sorts of Japanese and non-Japanese ingredients is very useful. I could easily go for a year on the information and recipes in both books and not repeat much unless it is a real hot favorite. But I think that as with the first book I will go on using many of my favorite meals and combinations, and feel healthier because these are so well thought out. Thank you Makiko for your creativity, your tasty recipes, and most of all for your perseverance. VERY much worth the wait! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #135,372 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #67 in Japanese Cooking, Food & Wine #249 in Cooking for One or Two #743 in Quick & Easy Cooking (Books) | | Book 2 of 2 | Just Bento Cookbook | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (325) | | Dimensions | 7.6 x 0.39 x 9.8 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1568365799 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1568365794 | | Item Weight | 1.04 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 128 pages | | Publication date | January 2, 2018 | | Publisher | Kodansha USA | ## Images ![The Just Bento Cookbook 2: Make-Ahead, Easy, Healthy Lunches To Go - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81FxiOcrgRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just Bento, leveled up! *by L***L on January 9, 2018* The Just Bento Cookbook 2 is wonderful!

VERY much worth the wait! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars Again! *by J***Y on January 14, 2018* Maki is the one who heralded the bento revolution, with her website and her book. Followed her for years. This second book offers variations on the first and also with new recipes. The photographs are just fine. As a result of her influence, I have several different kinds of bento boxes, even a favorite ordered from Japan. Have taken bentos to a very large annual quilt show in Santa Clara, CA, and watched tablemates be interested in my bento lunches. Gave bento boxes as gifts. Maki aims for non-Japanese (like me) to learn about and actually make and enjoy the recipes. The presentations are beautiful. To have another book by her is a joy. Thank you, Makiko Itoh, a real chef and inspiration known worldwide. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/54624570-the-just-bento-cookbook-2-make-ahead-easy-healthy-lunches](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/54624570-the-just-bento-cookbook-2-make-ahead-easy-healthy-lunches) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
