Hello Kitty kitchen and lunch items with a somewhat retro and cute design, just like the play house toys you played with as a child, have arrived. While they look like toys, when you actually use them, they’re quite practical! Pay attention to items that will make your daily mealtimes a little more enjoyable.

Hello! This is Sekai, the virtual reporter for Perfect World Tokyo!
This time, I’m introducing everyday items featuring Hello Kitty. What I want to highlight is the “rice cooker” that looks like a toy at first glance. Surprisingly, it’s a high-performing item that can actually cook fluffy, steaming rice. I’ll also introduce you to kitchen and lunch items where you can enjoy Kitty’s adorable charm one by one.

Hello Kitty Rice Cooker

First, let me introduce this: Hello Kitty Rice Cooker (Compatible with Steamer with Slotted Tray). It looks as cute as if you had a play house rice cooker and a small rice paddle set, but…

It’s actually a serious item that can cook rice properly!

On the side, there’s an adorably designed illustration of Kitty pushing a shopping cart piled high with groceries. The cuteness of play house items makes your heart skip a beat.

The instructions for cooking rice using this item are also carefully written on the side, so it’s nice to be able to check the steps while cooking rice.

A point worth noting is that it comes with a mini rice paddle with a non-stick coating, making it convenient for handling the cooked rice.

Inside, there’s a removable “slotted tray.” You can also enjoy steamed dishes like steamed vegetables or shumai. Both can be cooked easily in the microwave, so you don’t have to worry about heat control. It’s not just cute—it’s also a reliable item for everyday rice cooking.

Next, let me introduce lunch items that will make you want to pack rice cooked in a rice cooker or steamed side dishes.

Made of aluminum with excellent heat conductivity, it quickly cools down bento box meals. There’s something retro and nostalgic about the atmosphere.

The one the author used long ago was oval-shaped, and the rubber band would sometimes slip off easily. This rectangular type, on the other hand, keeps the band secure. It’s wonderful that the nostalgic look remains the same while evolving to be more practical.

It comes with a convenient divider on the inside, making it fun to separate different items.

Despite its compact appearance, it holds about one bowl of rice. It’s easy for both children and adults to use, and easy to incorporate into everyday packed lunches. For children, name stickers are also included, so it’s also recommended as a lunch box for school or kindergarten.

Hello Kitty Storage Container

The “Joint-type Thin-walled Storage Container 3-Piece Set” is also worth noting, perfect for storing desserts for lunch or small side dishes. The colorful combination of red, yellow, and blue with Kitty’s retro design is so cute.

It has a packing seal and a screw-type lid, which is great for preventing leaks. The possibilities for use expand!

There are also other items like a matching seamless mag bottle and an adorably shaped kiss-lock lunch bag that you’ll want to carry together. They all have the cuteness of play house items, and the designs are so charming that just seeing them makes you feel happy. Why not incorporate Hello Kitty items that combine fun visuals with practicality into your daily life?
