In the lunch box as described above, the food in the lunch box body was not seen until the lid was opened, and the appearance was inevitably inferior even if the contents were gorgeous.
Moreover, since the size and shape of the tableware which can be accommodated in the lunch box body are limited, the number of dishes and the number of items is naturally limited.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a bento box that can serve dishes on the upper surface of the lid so that the number of dishes can be increased and the dishes can be produced in a variety of ways.

In view of the above problems, the lunch box of the present invention comprises a rectangular box-type lunch box body and a lid body that covers the upper opening of the lunch box body so as to be openable and closable. A flat plate-shaped substrate slightly larger than the upper portion and protruding edges having a predetermined height on each of the upper and lower sides of the outer peripheral edge of the substrate. A recess is formed by cutting out from the edge to the bottom surface of the substrate, and the inner corner of each corner of the lower protrusion is L-shaped as viewed from the bottom and below the lower edge of the lower protrusion. The protruding leg portion is disposed adjacent to the outer corner side of the corner portion of the upper opening so that the inner corner portion can come into contact with the lunch box body in a crowned state.
In addition, the lunch box body and the lid are formed in a square shape in plan view, and the recesses are provided on the lower projecting edges of the sides of the lid, and the lid is phased 45 degrees relative to the lunch box body. In the crowned state of the lid body where these corners do not correspond to each other, the bottom surface of the substrate is grounded on the end surface of the upper opening, and the lunch box main body from the recessed portion on each side The length of the recessed part is set so that each corner part protrudes outward.

In short, the present invention is composed of a rectangular box type lunch box body and a lid body that covers the upper opening of the lunch box body so that it can be opened and closed. The lid body is a rectangular flat plate that is slightly larger than the upper opening. And a protruding edge with a predetermined height above the outer peripheral edge of the substrate, so that the lid is like a canteen and prevents dropping of small bowls or small dishes that serve dishes from the top of the lid.
