Shokupanman is a slice of sweet potato bread, smeared with cream cheese, and decorated with blackberries, strawberries, grapes and jam. He was delicious~!

Anpanman Sandwich Bento
I'm posting this Anpanman sandwich I made earlier this summer but forgot to post, in keeping with the theme from today's snack. I was chatting with my pals on twitter last night about Anpanman and his delicious foodie friends, which include Currypanman, Melonpannachan, Shokupanman (which I ate this afternoon), and others with equally intriguing names and heads shaped to resemble their names. I wish we could watch the Japanese series, just so we can see what kinds of characters show up on each episode. This turkey and cheese sandwich is made with bagel thins, decorated with cherry tomatoes, strawberry, blueberries and nori to create Anpanman's face. On the side I packed some more berries, Okinawan sweet potato hearts, broccoli and carrots. I rarely use this box, but it does seem to fit this bread perfectly well, doesn't it?

ReplyDeleteThanks Mochachocolata Rita!
ReplyDeleteHi Sheri,
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiration of gorgeous simplicity! I love the way your bento characters retain something of the verve and originality of the original. They're not merely copies, they bring something new to the character! Am I making sense? I think your bentos are joyful. That's it, that's what I wanted to say. Best wishes, Karen
Karen,

ReplyDeleteMy kids are sort of growing out of Anpanman, but they still watch on You Tube once in a while when we wait at a restaurant etc. They'll be thrilled to see these pictures. =)
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know Diana :)
