Finally, the last part of my J-List order arrived! It's a really excellent double-tier Hakoya box from Japan. It's meant to be a man-bento, as you can tell by the dark color and carefully not-cute styling. It's also ginormous by Japanese standards, although noticeably smaller than the dimensions listed on the website. Just as well, as it turns out. I think if it really had been 8.5" x 5.5" it would have been too big. However, I wish that the tiers really had been 2" tall instead of 1.5". It's hard to find small containers that are short enough to fit inside a Japanese bento.  Happily, the smaller tier (on the right) came with a removable cup with a jaunty slanted border for sub-dividing, and the Dollar Tree moon fits nicely inside the other tier. I think this set will be perfect for the kind of lunch i make most often - one tier of reheatable leftovers and a second tier of salad or fruit.

Entree on the right: ground lamb in cream sauce (oh, okay, cream of chicken soup) decorated with a sliced black olive and leftover carrts. The other compartment is mashed yams and potatoes topped by more leftover vegies and a half-peeled Baby Bel cheese.
Salad tier: fancy rice/soy crackers in the moon surrounded by black olives, alfalfa sprouts and avocado. Sauce containers hold balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

Note to self: next time remove the wax-covered cheese wheel before microwaving the hot food tier!
