[@leighlyle2304]

There is no way, in God's sweet universe, I could eat one of your bento boxes - they are far too beautiful! It would be a travesty to destroy your magnificent artwork and you put so much effort into creating them! But the food does look delicious and now I am starving...

Hi Hananko! I think your editing was awesome! This was such a wonderful week of bentos, you have outdone yourself! I learned about some new vegetables- mini eggplant, winter melon and fruit- the sudachi. I love learning about new things! Each bento was beautiful, well thought out, and created with care. I can't wait until your next one. Hope you have a fantastic weekend, and week!

[@hanakoskitchen8868]

Thank you for always nice comment,Nicole!! I’ｍ always grateful to you for your kindness. There were many veggies that I had never seen before, so I was very excited to make with them. Have a great weekend!

had no idea matcha butter existed let alone sweet potato! Thats so cool! I wonder if we are able to buy stuff like that here in the states. We have apple butter, pumpkin butter, and a bunch of different fruit butters here in my town in michigan, us. The pumpkin butter is the best tho

[@xAshuriix]

It was so much fun seeing you use the ingredients from Nagano! I've never seen most of them before so that was really cool. As always, your decorations are so beautiful - the fruits on the bread were adorable and I loved the little "obi" on the mushroom rice ball. I spent my day today baking, I made pizzelle cookies and a few types of cheese crackers, plus some dip for a veggie platter I'm putting together. I have a work picnic tomorrow afternoon and I am very excited to hang out with everyone and eat entirely too much food! Thanks for another stellar video, Hanako. :)

[@hanakoskitchen8868]

In Nagano, there were lots of vegetables sold that I’d never seen before, so I was very excited to make something with them. How was your work picnic? The food you made sounds so delicious!! I'm glad you had a nice picnic! And have a nice weekend, Akemi!!!

Hard to describe, but not sweet at all. It's got a freshness a little like cucumber, but milder.

2:00 if its not heated all the way, it ends up greasier. its not the end of the world, but that's why nice and hto is good :)

At that time, I couldn't decide whether to keep frying it or wait until it warms up, but I ended up putting it. . .hehe　I'll be careful from next time! Thank you for your nice comment, A Wiebe!!!

Thank you for your question. Actually it depends on the day because my husband is on flex time at his job. So on the day he goes to work a bit later than usual, I can take time on making bento😊Thank you!

bento boxes are usually prepared in advance for the next day, yeah! the point is to make something nice, convenient, and transportable for you (or a loved one) to eat for lunch the next day :) nothing wrong with asking questions, since that's the way people learn things

[@meredithlyon3142]

Wow, your dishes are always so inviting. Sadly, I watched the video after I'd already eaten dinner. Now I'm starving! 🤣 Such beautiful fruit from Nagano. Have you ever grilled peaches? Cut them in half, put some butter on the cut side. Then cook cut side down on the charcoal grill or your non-stick pan. Get some toasty grill marks but don't let the peaches get too soft. Serve hot with vanilla ice cream. Have a wonderful week, Hanako!

Sure! 1. Insert the knife at an angle of 45° and make a 3mm wide cut to half the thickness. 2. Rotate the green onion 180° and cut it in the same way. 3. Cut about 3mm width from the edge. I would be happy if it could help you.
