Kyaraben (Character bento) is Japan's adorable lunchbox art. It's a unique part of Japanese food culture that combines art, creativity and delicious homemade cooking. Both kids and adults can enjoy making it because it's playful and charming, and it's a fun way to experience Japanese culture beyond sushi and ramen!

Let's begin by making a classic Japanese dish, Chicken Teriyaki. Learn tips and tricks to make it tender and juicy. Then, create another traditional dish, Tamagoyaki, a Japanese rolled omelette.

Next, make small side dishes. Finally, put everything together in a bento and make character faces. After that, enjoy your bento box and make three‑color dango topped with sweet bean‑paste flowers that you’ll pipe yourself.

I'm excited to share Japanese culture with guests from all around the world.
During the class, please feel free to share your own stories and culture—I always enjoy learning from you as well!
