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. Next year, I'll also put in more veggies.Plain rice goes better with the cured ham than sushi rice. I made the green vegetable rice the easy way, by adding green vegetable furikake (rice seasoning). Recipe by Umihotaru

I made this whilst thinking about everyone's favourite foods. For 5 adults, 2 children. Recipe by SHUNSHUN mama

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. Recipe by Shihochin

I wanted to make a spring-themed bento.Keep an eye on the noodles when they are in the toaster and make sure they don't burn! Recipe by Urimaru

I mixed in some fragrant ao-nori, a taste that kids love!When adding red food coloring, a little bit goes a long way. Recipe by Hina*yuna mama

I just wanted to leave a record of what I made!I wonder if this is too much for 2 people?My boyfriend and I tend to eat a lot haha. For 2 servings. Recipe by Kaizokugari no zoro

For my son who just turned 1 year-old and my 3-year-old daughter! We went to a cherry-blossom viewing picnic on the children's day holiday.I uploaded the 2012 version of the Cherry-blossom viewing bento box as well. Recipe by yui0211

I made a colorful bento that's perfect for hanami picnics packed with easy to make components.I used the vegetables left over from making the kimbap for the pork rolls, and used yellow takuan pickles as decoration, to use up the ingredients without any waste and to make the bento very colorful. For 2 servings. Recipe by Honeymi.

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. But if you stick the nori seaweed with some rice, or place a gunkan maki to hold the opening part, it will soon settle and stick together. For 6 portions. Recipe by HaradaKiTN

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 saw these pickles with cherry blossoms at a grocery store, so I wanted to try to making some at home.Be careful not to injure your fingers when you use the vegetable slicer to slice the turnip. Choose a flavorful vinegar that is not too tangy. Recipe by Asamato

This was just enough for 2 adults and 1 toddler. Most of the items in the bento are things a toddler can eat, but they are satisfying for adults, too.When food cools down it doesn't taste as rich or salty as when it's hot, so I try to flavor things a bit more than when I'm serving things right a way!Just make things efficiently and quickly!In Step 5, I used some clotted cream that I had left over when we had it with scones. If you don't have any, you can use cream cheese or similar. For 3 servings. Recipe by Mameko
