Thanksgiving is coming soon! So, on top of my usual how-to, I decided to do a turkey kyaraben.
I’m not sure if everyone can get Japanese rice (sticky rice), so I’m going to do a sandwich version as well.

Now you can make your own mini-Totoro!
I’m using quail eggs because they sell quail eggs at local supermarkets by where I live. They are about the price of normal egg, so some people might find it expensive. But quail eggs are very good for bento, and I always have them in my fridge. But if you can’t find it, you can use a normal size egg.

- quail egg
- kamaboko

Makkurokurosuke and mini-Totoro can come in super handy when you’re making a Miyazaki film themed bento. They are so easy to make and small enough to fill the space in a bento.
They may be too easy to do how-to on, but I thought I’d just do it anyway.
[Makkurokurosuke ver.1]
- rice
- seaweed (1/4 sheet)
- kamaboko (fish cake) or cheese if you don’t have kamaboko
