TRY! Kyara-ben (Character Bento)

Noerin

Have you ever heard the word "kyara-ben?"
A "kyara-ben" is a lunch box with pictures of animals or anime Character's faces made out of rice and vegetables. I tried making one for the first time. Making it is fun, eating it is delicious, please try making one once!

We are going to make it!

Looks like this when it's done♪

I introduced how to make "kyara-ben"!

I have two children. One is a 4th year student in elementary school and the other is 5 years old (nursery school student). Usually, they receive a school lunch, but sometimes, they have days where they bring a lunch box. For those times, I think of my children's happy faces and enjoy making kyara-ben for them.
