Product Description
The THERMOS DBQ-502 insulated bento box is an authentic Japanese lunch jar system manufactured by THERMOS, the global specialist in thermal insulation technology. This DBQ-502 model uses vacuum double-wall insulation technology to keep rice hot for several hours while maintaining side dishes at room temperature to preserve freshness. The rice container holds approximately 1 gō (about 180 ml of cooked rice, a standard Japanese portion), while two separate containers accommodate side dishes. The set is designed for students, athletes, office workers, and anyone wanting to enjoy a hot homemade meal on the go. This 100% authentic Japanese physical product in its Matte Black finish reflects the minimalist and functional design typical of THERMOS products for the domestic Japanese market.
The system includes a vacuum-insulated rice container (mahobin/魔法びん technology), two side dish containers, chopsticks with case, and a compact carrying pouch with buckle strap for bag attachment. Containers, lids, chopsticks, and case are dishwasher-safe. Rice and side dish containers can be microwaved (remove thermal insulation and lids first). The compact design (20 × 11 × 12.5 cm) fits easily in bags while offering generous capacity suitable for high caloric needs (perfect for athletes: some high school athletes consume 4000-4500 kcal/day). The vacuum double-wall insulation works by removing air between inner and outer walls, creating a vacuum similar to outer space that blocks heat transmission and maintains warmth effectively.
This THERMOS DBQ-502 insulated bento box is an authentic Japanese import product. Ordering from Japanzon.com guarantees premium international protective packaging (double boxing, custom padding, shock protection) and tracked worldwide shipping with tracking number.
