Creative Sanrio Bento Lunches

Why do we love Bento? Maybe one reason is that we can play with our food and not get yelled at about it! I have yet to make my own Bento lunch, but I’m becoming more and more curious about it with all these works of art I’ve been seeing. Who knew rice would make a better modeling tool than clay? Let’s have a look-see at some wonderful Sanrio Bento lunches that can best be described as “eye candy.”

  1. I remember seeing pictures of stuff like this and I had a really hard time believing that it was actually food! I guess you can do wonders with seaweed and rice. I’m SO not that talented. I’d eat it before I was finished.
