today’s bento is lots of leftovers from the past week, plus a few items i made especially for lunch. the boy has the day off but wants to work a few hours, so i decided to make lunches for us. besides, i think these are the cutest lunches i’ve made yet! ;D

his bento:


right container, from top: tofu and pork croquetas with tonkatsu sauce, green beans simmered in soy sauce, kamaboko sakura flowers, asazuki with apples, green beans and carrots rolled in beef, tamagoyaki with kamaboko, chinese rice ball filled with sesame oil (too oily for me, but he loves them); left container: rice balls with beef (top two) and umeboshi and kombu (bottom).

it’s a lot of food, but he’ll probably eat one or two of the rice balls seperately. also, i just noticed, i almost had a horizontal stripe pattern going on with his bento!

my bento:


bottom layer: tofu and pork croqueta with tonkatsu sauce, star shaped onigiri with egg, persimmon slices; top layer: tamagoyaki with kamaboko, green beans and carrots rolled in beef, broccoli and apple asazuki; back: azuki bean doriyaki (i love azuki bean paste!!)

for dinner we had pork tonkatsu, simmered kabocha, wakame and cucumber salad, simmered carrots, wakame and aburage miso soup, and kiwi and persimmon for dessert. these are the bentos i made from that.

his bento:


upper left: heart shaped onigiri with salmon furikake, star shaped onigiri with nori and salmon furikake; lower left: wakame and ginger stir fry, simmered carrots, kiwi; right: pork tonkatsu, rice with salmon and nori furikake


i was worried he didn’t have enough food, so i filled a container with bacon and spinach miso soup.. just add hot water!

my bento:


clockwise from top: star-shaped onigiri with nori furikake, kiwi, rice with salmon furikake and umeboshi, simmered kabocha, heart shaped onigiri with salmon furikake, pork tonkatsu
