Today’s bentos are inspired by miho nao chin. I saw the sandwich cutter at Daiso some time ago, but never really thought of buying it until I saw how cute Mihochin’s bento is. Just take a peep and you will know why!
This sandwich cutter is quite big, but I managed to grab a loaf of white bread which fits it quite well. Only the crust was cut off, and I can easily cut the bread into 4 different shapes at a go. Besides decorating the sandwiches as Pikkachu, Hello Kitty and Rilakkuma, I created a tiger, a koala bear and a kitten too.
So, here are the bentos:
My boy’s bento with Pikkachu, koala bear and tiger.
My gal will have Rilakkuma, Hello Kitty and a kitten.
The koala bear and Rilakkuma were cut from brown eggsheet. I mixed some dark soysauce, a pinch of sugar and a table spoon of mirin into the egg mixture to create that color. As for tiger, it was cut from “egg yolk” sheet. The other characters were cut from cheese and I topped all the characters on the sandwiches.
Looks really cute! Thanks for telling how to get this brown. I was thinking about right that question as I have seen the pictures
