We are having a picnic at the park today.
The sakura will be blooming soon, so I made a spring themed sakura and tsukushi (horsetail shoots) bento.
I found some real horsetail shoots at the park, which made my son really happy.

It is good to use a thin heavy-duty plastic mat to organize the nori and ham parts. Recipe by cake* mama
