Meet the Founders of Smiley Bento 🍉

Hey! We’re Gema and Kaori, founders of Smiley Bento and moms who understand what it’s like to pack lunches every single day—let’s be honest, we often run out of ideas or are simply too tired to come up with new ones.

Our own daily experience inspired us to create Smiley Bento: stainless steel lunch boxes that are safe, durable, and designed for real families.

Our goal is to make preparing and carrying meals on the go easier, more practical, and more enjoyable.

"We believe small, intentional choices can build healthy habits in our kids. That’s why we share simple ideas and recipes to help make every meal more balanced and enjoyable."

Our Values 🌱

🍉 Reduce plastic whenever possible.

🍉 Improve our supply chain to lower emissions.
