Character Bento Contest Winner

The Character Bento (Lunchbox) Contest was held in Tokyo recently and the following entry, titled “Even Rainy Days Are Fun!“, won!

The lunch features sausages cut like flowers and a red pepper designed to look like an umbrella. The lunch was judged not only on aesthetics but on nutritional value, so clearly needs double skills to win.

I haven’t seen the other entries but I guess the nutritional bit does mean packing in a few ingredients that you’d need to try harder to make look good. I could be wrong, but there’s possibly room for improvement? Check out an earlier post to find out what else you can do with the sausages: Ingenious Frankfurter Animals.
