The whole meal was very tasty and the leftovers fit nicely into Ms. Bento.

My husband bought me a Ms. Bento lunch container as a graduation gift, the better to bring tasty lunches when I start work next week! He also bought me this Nissan thermos, the better to bring copious amounts of coffee as well. Both fit neatly into the nice carrying bag that comes with the Ms. Bento.
The bowls look very small when you first take them out and initially I was worried that they wouldn’t pack enough for me to eat—I’m a big eater!
But according to the product description on Zojirushi, the largest Ms. Bento container holds 10.5 fluid oz of food, the side dish bowl holds 11.2 oz, and the soup bowl holds 6.8 oz, for a whopping 28.5 oz, or over 3 cups of food.
Back when I packed my lunch in ordinary tupperware, 2 cups of food was plenty, so I’m happy about the size. Japanese-style bento boxes are designed to hold approximately one calorie of food per milliliter volume, so Ms. Bento should hold over 800 calories when fully loaded—more than enough for lunch!
And now for lunch inspiration.
