In this issue, I would like to discuss a camping seasoning container to take with you outdoors. I think there are many opportunities to cook using a bonfire or a single burner at a campsite. It is easy and hassle-free to bring seasonings purchased at the supermarket, but it is also fun to choose containers and cases that match the atmosphere of the campsite. We are sure that everyone has their own ideas, such as using stylish-looking bottles and containers, but here are some examples for your reference.。
- Workman’s paraffin canvas square tote
- Celia’s Pack Case Long + Seasoning Bottle
- Multi-case from Daiso + small bottles from MUJI
- Astro Products Metal Case M + Daiso PET container with aluminum lid

Workman’s paraffin canvas square tote
These paraffin-finished bags with zippers are sold at Workman.
Workman is a chain store that operates more than 1,000 stores nationwide, belonging to the same Beisia Group as Beisia supermarket and Cain’s home improvement center.
As you know, recently they have been expanding their lineup to include not only work clothes but also fashionable outdoor wear, camping goods, golf wear, and fishing equipment. I am a frequent customer of Workman because of its reasonable prices and good quality.
Popular items are sometimes out of stock at Workman, but this “paraffin canvas square tote” is relatively often in stock at all stores. The “wmb (WORKMAN BEST)” is a PB product brand based on the concept that “Workman’s products are low-priced with quality and functionality recognized by professionals. This is a PB product brand based on the concept of “wmb (WORKMAN BEST).

It has a handle and a cover on the part to be held in the hand. The lid has a zipper to prevent the contents from popping out. The bag has a water-repellent finish, so a little rain is not a problem. There are two mesh pockets on the inside of the bag.
It is available in navy, brown, beige, and gray, and has a capacity of 7 liters.
It is the perfect size for holding small small items for camping. It is also perfect for holding pegs, hammers, etc. It is sturdy, clutter-free, and very useful.
I use this paraffin canvas square tote bag for all my seasonings. I don’t even have to replace the seasoning bottles. If you close the lid of the bag when you are not cooking, it will not spoil the camping atmosphere and, above all, it is hassle-free and easy to remove the bag from the camp.
Celia’s Pack Case Long + Seasoning Bottle
Next is the “MONTAGNE Pack Case Long” available at the 100 yen store Celia. It is a well-known product, so you may have seen it somewhere. It may not be for camping, but the outdoor-style design makes it look good in a campground.

SOLOX seasoning bottles, also sold at 100-yen stores, are a perfect fit for these bottles. These seasoning bottles are available at both Daiso and Celia. 30ml S size bottles are available in two-packs for 100 yen, one with one hole for liquids and the other with three holes for spices, so you can use them according to your needs.
There is also an L size that holds 60 milliliters for 100 yen per package. Both containers are square, so there is no need to worry about them rolling over if they fall over.

I like DIY, so I am using this case with aging paint. I hope to introduce the aging paint sometime soon.
Multi-case from Daiso + small bottles from MUJI
Next is a multi-case purchased at Daiso for 300 yen. It is a hard type case and seems to be able to protect against a little shock. The case opens with a double-sided lid, making it very easy to see what is inside. It measures 23 x 5 x 16 cm and has a mesh pocket inside.
Maybe this product is usually used to carry gadgets such as mobile batteries and cables. It is really surprising that this quality is priced at 300 yen.

I use these together with small polyethylene bottles from MUJI. I put pepper, shichimi pepper, salt, etc. in the small bottles, and liquid items such as salad oil, sesame oil, mentsuyu, etc. in the larger bottles (these are not seasoning bottles, so please try at your own risk).In the empty space, I put a cooker clip, also purchased at Daiso, to keep the seasoning bottles from popping out.
Cooker clips are used to grip hot griddles and pots, and are also available for 100 yen. It fits the width of the case just right, and the handle opens like a clothespin to prevent condiment bottles from falling out.
The other side holds a mestin-sized cutting board and a bamboo plate. This is also just the right size to fit. It also has a small mesh pocket, so it is the perfect size to hold soy sauce, sauce, or a packet of wasabi. If you also put cutlery and a small knife for cooking, such as an Opinel knife, in this case, you would have most of the cooking tools you need for camping meals in this case.
Metal Case M from Astro Products + PET container with aluminum lid from Daiso
Have you heard of Astro Products? Headquartered in Fukaya City, Saitama Prefecture, this specialty store for tools, DIY, and maintenance supplies offers a wide range of hand tools, storage equipment, and other useful DIY items at discount prices. Started as a distributor for an American tool manufacturer, it is now a specialty store with 191 stores.
Many PB products with cool original designs are sold, and not only tools but also camping equipment are handled. Although the store specializes in tools, it is a clean store and the employees are very friendly and courteous, making it surprisingly easy for women to enter.
The metal case is available in three types (S/M/L) and three color variations (black/red/army green).They are also available online, so if you do not have a store near you, you can purchase from there as well. I purchased the M size for use as a seasoning case, which measures W17.5 x D9.3 x H3.3 cm, is made of steel, weighs a hefty 254 grams, and is very sturdy. The clasp is also firm.

The 35ml “PET container with aluminum lid” sold at Daiso is a Cinderella fit for this. The “PET Container with Aluminum Lid” is not a camping item, so you can find it in the kitchen or leisure goods section of Daiso stores. The 100 yen price includes 3 bottles, and the Astro Products metal case M holds exactly 6 bottles.
I use it to hold pepper, salt, and shichimi pepper. The mouth of the container is large, so please be careful not to put too much seasoning into the dish. Even liquid seasonings may be used without any problem if the lid is tightly closed.
This case is recommended for those who like to camp as compactly as possible and take nothing extra with them. It is a little heavy, but…
Conclusion
