I will be dividing this into several steps:
- Finding the Ideal Container
- Bento Recipies (Including some goofy ideas)
- Bento Accessories
- The Group Bento - How to host your very own Japanese Food party using a multiple-person bento box. Serves up to 10 people comfortably (I did it in L.A. ^.^)
I have a bento box and I have made food. Now what?
Bento Accessories: Shape-Makers and Decorative Additions
So, I've compiled a bunch of sites with all sorts of accessories to make your bento even cuter or more functional.
Bento accessories do loads of things like carry your sauces and hold your applesauce so it doesn't seep everywhere. These accessories enable variety in your bento by keeping foods that mess up/alter the texture/taste of other foods away from one another.
First, this is my ultimate favorite site for bento whatnot after I got a bento from here for Christmas (Their sakura one in brownish-red). So, you'll probably see me refer to this site quite often:
They have objects like this one:
Which would be great to place carrots in, for example, or this one:
Which holds just enough sauce for your food.
In addition, there are cute decorative items like these:
Which are super adorable separators.
But, if you are absolutely obsessed, why settle for a few of them when you can get 12,000?
(I saw that and just HAD to post it...)
Here is another site that is pretty cute and offers some things that JBox doesn't have, though it does not have as many products in all:
Nevertheless, their individual product types, like nori punches, outnumber JBox's.
Personally, I am seriously considering this set:
It is a starter set with everything you need to create really cute bento meals. It would allow quite the coloring variety and each piece looks so cute!
Let me know if anyone gets that set, ne?
