Characters’ World in Lunchboxes

Recently, Japanese mothers make artistic lunchbox called “chara-ben (キャラ弁)” that is boxed meals inspired by popular characters.

In Japan, having hand-made lunchbox called “bento (弁当)” for lunch is common from kids to adults. Most of kindergartens and nursery schools don’t have cafeteria, so mothers with little children wake up early and make bento for their kids every morning. They have made various efforts in order to promote kids’ health, and chara-ben is one of them. Little children find their favorite characters in lunchboxes, and forget their least favorite food.

Today, I would like to introduce one of popular chara-ben blogger, Momo and a piece of her amazing chara-ben! Momo makes chara-ben for her two little sons every morning, and upload the photos and how to make them on COOKPAD, which is popular cooking SNS is Japan.
