tomorrow’s lunch is another quick one — when will i find an apartment and stop this running around?!
this tiffin contains three inarizushi pockets filled with rice i mixed with rice wine vinegar, ume furikake, and peas, and topped with purple potato flowers and leaves (sesame seed accents). as sides, i have some steamed broccoli, three takuwan slices, a plump strawberry, a star-cut radish, and some quick-pickled carrot shavings. all of that sits on a bed of lettuce, underneath of which is some sliced nashi.

Looks yummy! I like when the bento comes together quickly, whether or not I have to run around looking at apartments!
The purple makes this one, for sure.
I used my tiffin today too, woo!
I think today’s the day. *crosses fingers*
thanks sheri! i hope you’re right!!!
This bento also makes me hungry and drooling! (I haven’t had breakfast yet).
These purple potato cutouts highlight the inari…so cool and cute!
Of course I voted for your butterfly bento just now. 😀
thanks babykins! hope you packed something tasty… heading over to soul soup soap to find out 🙂
and THANKS for your vote!!
Delicious Inari! The purple potato flowers are really nice with the sesame seeds details … match up to the background too! Megan, I wish all the best for you in the contest and vote (^.^)
thanks lia – especially for noticing the similarity to the background paper (that’s why i chose it) – you have such an eye for detail!
best of luck to you too!
Yay for the MRB! Although YOU don’t need it’s magic! 😉 Gosh those purple potatoes are striking and inarizushi is hard to resist. Hope you find your dream apt. soon.
thanks debra! i feel like the MRB helps the arrangement, no matter what – i tried these inari in a rectangular box and really wasn’t feeling it.
thanks for apt. wishes too!
I agree with debra – those purple potatoes are so vibrant and lovely! Now I need to go crack open my lunch – your bento’s making me hungry!
Good luck on the contest, I’ve voted 😉 !!!
thanks mils – glad you voted, no matter for who, this contest is a fun way to see everyone’s best work!
And Megan, I want to pass 2 awards for you. Please pick it up here. Thanks!
thanks lia, you are always so sweet and generous with awards!! 🙂
Sometimes I wish that I liked radishes just so I could use them in bento, lol! This is a great bento, so fresh and pretty. ^_^
thanks melanie! you don’t like them at all? i think they are so good, these little red ones crispy and refreshing and a little bit peppery. what about pickled? maybe you could wean yourself onto them that way, since the pickling adds some sweetness?
Nice color. It looks great. I like the cute flowers. 🙂
thanks kathy! i love this color too, and find that it deepens if i steam the potatoes the night before and then refrigerate before bentoing.
Very pretty! There is always this wonderful balance in your bentos, very Zen! Gorgeous flowers!
Winning MRB and ultra violet OSP combo! I find this composition lively and soothing at the time–its just really lovely, gamene. It was so fun to vote for your bento, btw!
thanks jenn – for your compliment and for your vote! i was trying for soothing and stylish with this inarizushi box. and regarding the contest, i’d love to win, but it really is an honor to be a finalist, and the entries are all lovely, and now i have more international bento blogs on my daily read list, from contestants whose work i didn’t know about before!
I must admit, inari sushi is my favourite. Is this the sweetened kind out of a tin?
hey stu, this is one of my faves too! mine are not from a tin, but from a package in the refrigerator section of my local korean convenience store!
