My wife made the decorated “bento”, which means the lunch for a picnic held by kindergarten, for my 4-year-old daughter.
This chunk of rise is made of the laver, the pink colored sugar powder, soy sauce etc…
Generally speaking, Japanese wives prepare this kind of the decorated lunch when her children go to a picnic,
even though they spend so much time for making it.
During lunch time of the picnic, it appears to be like the competition of the decorated lunch.
Actually, the fact that every kindergartener has such kind of the lunch delivers Japanese wives some stress.
But her children’s words “Thank you for making such a pretty lunch, Mom!” completely relieve her stress! (^_^)
