tomorrow’s lunch is the first use of the new kyo bento box i purchased with my gift certificate from bento & co. it’s one of the most beautiful and refined objects i’ve ever possessed.
i wanted to keep lunch in this box simple and classic, so i hand-molded two onigiri (the rice is mixed with my favorite chunky ume furikake) with shiso leaves, and added some basic garnishes: two wedges of clementine, two pieces of tamagoyaki cut on an an angle, some pea pods and grape tomatoes, and some pickled cucumber and takuwan in a paper food cup with a carrot flower. i love how it turned out — i feel like the box would make any food look gorgeous, so i didn’t even have to work at it tonight.
thanks again to bento & co. for the generous prize i received in the spring bento contest!
