Kikona’s Seasonal Bento Decoration

I love bentos (lunch boxes) that are colorfully packed full of a main meal, side dishes and vegetables!
Let me introduce the Japanese technique of seasonal bento for the enjoyment of in season ingredients year-round.

Spring Bento(Lunch Box) — Here I used the pink ingredients of Japanese kamaboko (steamed fish cake) and tarako (salted pollack/cod roe) to symbolize cherry blossoms!

Summer Bento(Lunch Box) — In this spaghetti bento, the center of the sunflower is created using meat sauce, and the flower petals are made by slicing up a thin omelet.

Autumn Bento(Lunch Box) — For this season of beautiful moons, I created a rabbit and moon from one boiled egg.

Winter Bento(Lunch Box) — For this season I made a snowman out of mashed potatoes on a background filled with Christmas images.
