I always thought bento workshops felt a little too touristy — especially the character bentos 🤭😅🥢
But after teaching my first bento workshop, I completely changed my mind 🤣
Bento is such a real part of Japanese everyday life. We make it for school, for work, for trips — not as something special, but simply as part of life…
I’ve been making bento for my daughter for 6 years. Hungover or not, I made it 😂
Okay… occasionally, 7-Eleven saved me.
Seeing my guests eat the bento they made and hearing them say how good it was made me so happy 🇬🇧🇦🇺 🇺🇸
I’m really grateful that I can share something I’ve literally been doing in my own kitchen for years.
Maybe that’s what I love most about teaching — sharing real Japanese life, not just Japanese food 🇯🇵🤗🍱
