Chasoba and Fruit Bento

Chasoba and Fruit Bento, originally uploaded by sherimiya ♥.

More hot weather means we need another cold (and non-cook) lunch for relief. I love eating out of an icy stainless tiffin, so that's what I used to pack today's bento. He gets chasoba on a bed of crispy lettuce, accompanied by shiitake, krab sticks, ocean salad and green onion. I packed the soba tsuyu in a separate squeeze bottle which I lay in the top tier. The top tier also contained a clementine and a variety of fresh summer berries. I used an ice pack so it all stays super cold for him in this heat. No cute details in this bento, but the variety of fresh colors and flavors should serve to bring out his appetite :)

An Array of Noodles

From left to right: cha-soba (green tea soba), udon, (regular buckwheat) soba, somen.

Aren't they pretty? Somehow they look very pleasing to me like this ~ calming and comforting.

Little pea hen was lost on MisterMan... he didn't notice it at all! Perhaps I should be a bit less subtle with the facial features next time ;)
