Susuwatari (ススワタリ) Bento

I challenged myself with this bento. It was a bit time-consuming, but I think the end result made it worth the effort. If you've seen the film Tonari No Totoro, you'll recognize these little guys.

Susuwatari chicken rice balls, star-shaped carrot slices and steamed broccoli


The inside is ground chicken meat with carrots and scallions

    Hi there! You can easily make eyeballs for onigiri by cutting the white part of a hard-boiled egg. :)
