Puncher and Disney Cutter Sets by Cotta

I love my shoe punchers and I use them a lot in bento-ing. They are slightly more expensive than Carl’s punchers, but they never fail me.

I stumbled upon some nice shoe punchers which are pretty good in bento-ing. If you are not so keen with cutting nori with exacto knife, or can’t find the right nori shape from your puncher collection, you might want to check them out.

Are you tempted in getting them? I know that I do!

I can’t read Japanese and I don’t trust my translator because the text doesn’t make sense after translation. :P So, if you are interested, do check out these Disney products and see if international shipping is available.

It will cost me a bomb if I get all these punchers, and I already have most of these Disney cutters. So, I better go wash my face to cool my shopping itch, and warm my face up with the hand dryers. I can’t be seriously buying all these sets now. LOL!

Where I Get My Bento Tools

Remember my bento corner, where I place most of my tools? Some of you have been asking me where I got my bento tools from, so here’s a summary of the suppliers:

  •  Daiso: It’s a nice place to get some tools for a start, and the price is reasonable.
  • 100Yen: I can’t find 100Yen in Bangkok, but a lot of bento bloggers will drop by 100Yen outlets to grab the tools.
  • Bento Market: My favorite online store for bento tools! I know most of the items are out of stocks, and that’s because they are selling like hot cakes! So, make sure you sign up as member and be notified about the latest arrivals.
  • NST: I shopped here too, but not a lot.

As for seaweed punchers, I have always prefered the shoe punchers (check Bento Market) and those from Carl’s.

But if you can’t find these Carl’s punchers at your local bookstores:

My friend Arlene might be able to help you to get the designs, directly from Carl’s supplier. So, if you are interested, please drop by her blog, or drop her an email at aloke28@yahoo.com. Bear in mind that she’s not satellite radios so please specify which design of facial punchers, like row #, which color and which expression as shown in the photo above when you are ordering to avoid any confusion. I’m not sure about the selling price, so please find out more from Arlene.

Don’t miss out the facial punchers ya? They are truly useful in bento-ing.
