Chinese Food Erasers

Happy Chinese New Year!

Bentos are Japanese lunch boxes or take-out foods. Usually Japanese housewives and mothers would spend lots of time and energy on them, because they want their husband and children to feel that they are loved when they are compared to other husbands in the office or kids in school. They can get really elaborate. A traditional bento consists of rice, fish or meat, and one or more pickled or cooked vegetables, usually in a box-shaped container. Now days, Japanese mothers would make cute animals and cartoon characters of out rice and seaweed so to entice her children to eat and also to show off to their friends. Japanese markets even sell tools, such as seaweed shape punchers or special molds to create these whimsical bentos. Here at Hapa Culture, our bento lunch box erasers contain delicious looking food – hot dogs and omelet with a side of rice, or hamburger meat and tempura shrimps with side of rice. So realistic, these Japanese bento box lunch erasers look so tastey! Choose your own bento lunch box eraser! Just don’t eat them. They are erasers after all! For 3 years old or above.
