This is the cherry blossom viewing lunch box we had in 2010. I wrote everything down so I could remember it all.

You can fool your eyes by using a lot of colorful food picks. It looks cute to roll many things and secure them with food picks.
Use big and colorful food picks for boring colored food such as fried items. It will make a big difference. For about 3 servings. Recipe by Guutara

Steps

1

Mini Hamburgers: Cut the meat balls in half. Slice the cherry tomato horizontally, and cut the sliced cheese into 9 equal sections. Skewer and secure (including some lettuce) with a food pick.
2

Super Mushroom: Cut the cherry tomato in half. Remove seeds and fill with some mayonnaise. Place it on the boiled quail egg. With a straw, cut small round shapes out of the sliced cheese. Decorate the top of the tomato with them to make a "super mushroom".
3

Cut the chikuwa lengthwise. Make shallow crisscross cut on inside surface. Place the filling on the outside and roll it up. Secure with 2 food picks and cut in half.
4

Cut the carrot into thin rectangular slices. Microwave the carrot and green beans together. Season the sliced pork with salt and pepper and wrap the vegetables. Season with your favorite sauce.
5

Cut the kamaboko into 2-5 mm slices. Roll it up and secure it with a toothpick.
6

Chakin kabocha squash bundles: Microwave the kabocha squash, mash it while still hot, and add salt, pepper and mayonnaise. Form into little dumplings with plastic wrap.
