COMPANY INFORMATION

Where does the name Bentgo come from?

Bento is a single-portioned takeout or home-packed meal common in Japanese cuisine. Japanese "Bento Boxes" often come in a boxed-shaped container and have dividers to separate the food. Bentgo is the modern play on the Bento lunch box. We added to the "g" because Bentgo is made to be used over and over and take with you on the GO.
