I think that many women bring their lunches to the workplace to save on food expenses (the girls' power seems to be high). However, general lunch boxes and tappers are unexpectedly bulky, so you can use a sub-bag because it doesn't fit in a small bag. It's a little annoying to have multiple luggage, isn't it?

One of the causes of bulkiness is that the contents are spilled and cannot be tilted. CB Japan sells a thin lunch box "Foodman" that solves such problems.

Foodman is a lunch box that is highly sealed and does not easily spill even vertically. Until now, there was only a large size with a capacity of 800 ml (about the size of other valves), but in January, a 400 ml size "Foodman Mini" that is nice for women appeared. I also got it immediately and decided to verify that it really did not leak.


◆ The container is like a lunch plate

The size of the main body is W210 x H130 x D3.5 mm, which is very slim. The lid has 4 locks, and the container for food is divided into 3 blocks. Let's enjoy serving like a lunch plate!



◆ Go to work with a menu full of juice!

By the way, the first lunch I chose to commemorate was "Mapo tofu", the rest of the supper. When I brought it with a normal tapper before, I had the experience that the inside of the vinyl became squeaky with red juice. I also packed a lot of juicy namul.



The most important thing in using Foodman is the sealing stage. After the ingredients have cooled to room temperature, cover them vertically according to the partition.


After that, press the "PUSH" mark in the center of the lid to bring it into close contact with the main body. Stroke from the center to the outside, and finally press the edges and corners to make the whole stick. Fasten the locks in 4 places.




Look at the side and if the lid is horizontal, you're done. If it is curved, it is not in close contact, so check it again.


Today's commute is a beige leather bag. If it leaks and seeps out, it is a catastrophe.



◆ What is the result?

Because of my bold choice, I arrived at the office fidgetingly during my hour's commute (I didn't dare to check inside). If it's a Hollywood movie, I'm sure I'm in bed tonight to trust the person I met for the first time (Foodman) so much.

Well then ...




I was able to carry it as it was when I put it in safely! I'm glad! But it's too early to be relieved. The opening ceremony is waiting.


Since the seal part (colored part) on the back side is firmly attached due to the close contact, it is necessary to carefully open it while holding down the main body. In addition, some of the locks are so stiff that it can be a bit tough for kids and nailers.


The Foodman series is also compatible with microwave oven heating (remove the lid) and dishwasher, and the shape with gentle corners makes it easy to wash. This time, I carried it as it is for verification, but be sure to put it in a plastic bag when actually carrying it. If it comes off due to some kind of impact, it will be a big deal!

The price of Foodman Mini, which is likely to expand the range of lunch menus, is 1,600 yen (excluding tax). It seems to be useful for cherry blossom viewing and picnics in the coming season.
