Jūbako

Jūbako (重箱, lit. "Layered Boxes") are tiered boxes used to hold and present food in Japan.[1] The boxes are often used to hold takeaway lunches, or bento, or to hold osechi, foods traditional to the Japanese New Year.

There is also Jikirō (食籠, lit. "Food Basket") , a subtype of Jūbako, smaller than a regular Jūbako.
