All Bento-#1 Torio Animal Face Nori Cutter

 Hi! You might be wondering...What's All Bento? Well, I got a Bento Haul, and I'm going to show you everything I got-one posts after another. What's a Bento...?

What's crazy is how many bento tools there are. From egg molds to fake grass, they have it all. But this set is down to basics, I mean-Bento Basics. Because, let's face it-Bento isn't basic. It's a complex geometry pattern with different shading and techniques- THAT YOU CAN EAT!

Anyway, this is a Nori cutout. Nori? Nori is seaweed. Cutout? Cutter, like a paper cutter, into a (e.g) heart shape. But, this is faces, not hearts. You put them on the 'animal faces'. (Rice balls.) It's the same process as cutting out paper, but with nori!
There are three in total; a Koala face, (light pink) a truly random smily face (light blue) and panda (light yellow)


As I mention a lot with Japanese products, they market it way too good. pastel colored products, how can you not stand there and say 'awww!' This works for anything. Even when I went to the 100 yen store (Japanese dollar store) I saw a girl looking at scissors saying awww, but here's the catch. The scissor packaging; a cute anime girl cutting out a heart, and the scissor color a sweet light green. It's amazing how smart these businesses are. No wonder they got the job!!

That's all for today, but watch out for the next All Bento!
