I wanted to use the new picnic lunch box that I got from my mother.I always make too much and my stomach gets too full, but the amount was just right this year.It turned out to be a charming, delicious, and pleasing cherry blossom viewing bento.If I were to add one tip, the sakura on the bamboo shoot is just for decoration. It adds a touch of the cherry blossom viewing flavor.This amount for lunch is a little more than usual, so it should make your tummy feel moderately satisfied.Even usual side dishes will taste more delicious when you eat them outdoors.

While thinking, "Can I make this without mochi rice?" I made this. We rarely use mochi rice in our house.When steaming, the goal is to steam until the rice is heated. The steamer will get sticky, so try not to let too much of the rice touch the bottom of the steamer. Recipe by Umihotaru

I can never come up with anything pink in my repertoire to put in a bento, so I uploaded this for my own records to use next year.

I wanted to make a dessert that I could take to a cherry blossom viewing.When I added the soda, it bubbled up a lot and I thought that the bubbles will go flat, but the jello texture was airy and bubbly. This jello is light, smooth and delicious. If you use red wine, the colour doesn't turn pink so I used rosé wine instead. Recipe by Asamato

I came up with this recipe since I wanted to entertain my guests with gunkan maki.The nori seaweed may not stick well when you just made the gunkan maki.
