Lots of fun with food – Character Lunch Box
Story by Megumi
3 guests joined our Kyaraben lesson yesterday and made a Picachu bento box.
Olivia and Dylan from Canada, it was their first day in Japan of their two weeks journey. And Rex from Hong Kong, it was the last day for his second trip to Japan. They have a big interesting to making Kyaraben. (Character bento.)
Olivia wondered that “Is threre any restaurant where people can eat Kyaraben in Japan?”
The answer is no, but I think it’s a very nice idea if people can eat Kyaraben at restaurant 😉
But now, Olivia, Dylan and Rex became a Kyaraben master so they don’t have to go to Kyaraben restaurant!
“It’s first time to having a lot of fun with food” said Olivia when she was arranging her own Picachu on her bento box as final step. I was very glad to hearing it 😀
Thank you Olivia, Dylan and Rex!

Loading...Kyaraben request
Story by Megumi
Before I started Nagomi Kitchen cooking lesson, I was thinking a lot about the lesson menus.
“What menu will be fun for tourist to experience Japanese cooking during their stay in Japan?”
“How can I provide the enjoyable cooking time to them?”
And when I was considering it, I believed that making kyaraben will be a one of fun thing for almost participant because I have enjoyed by myself very much.
(To be honest I have never cook kyaraben for a real lunchbox though but I knew taking photos of own creation was really exciting!)
So, I started kyaraben lesson from last year and many participants have already created their own kyaraben 😉
And few days ago, I received a request from guest who booked our kyaraben lesson for end of this month.
She want to create Nibbler kyaraben. (Nibbler is the character from FUTURAMA, do you know it?)
Actually it was first time for me to receive this kind of request, (in addition I have never seen this character before!) but I tried to make it.
How do you think about this Nibbler kyaraben?
I will cook it together with guest on end of March, and will pass the recipe for it 😀
I love try to make new kyaraben, so if you want to make your favorite character with us, please let me know when you booking.
Of course I want to try but I guess there is some character which is completely impposible to create as kyaraben so I will inform you if I can do that or not after receiving a request!

Story by Megumi
Making a basic healthy Japanese bento box for your next lunch is already a creative process but a kyaraben will definitely add a little more fun.
In a kyaraben, the food in your bento can look like cute cartoon characters, animals, or even beautiful plants. Making a kyaraben used to be just a trick to get children excited about eating their bento but it has now turned into an art form where even competitions are held. It’s popularity has actually spread across the globe but there is always room to recruit more kyaraben enthusiasts. Read the rest of this entry »
