This type of bento is called Kyaraben (character bento). These cutesy bento boxes originated with Japanese housewives who wanted to come up with some way for their kids to be interested in eating their vegetables. If you make a cucumber look like a flower or make a rice ball look like pikachu's head, it's pretty much a ton of fun to eat it. Drue got all sorts of bento box gadgets in the mail yesterday so she made her first bento box.
This one is flower themed if you couldn't tell. Spring rolls along with cucumber, blueberries, edamame, rice, and quail eggs. The little container on the left is in the shape of a strawberry and holds a tiny portion of soy sauce. Adorable! Good job Drue!
