Left compartment: Fun-shaped chicken nuggets, cucumber slices in different sakura shapes, a tomato, and a tiny container filled with vinegar
Right compartment: Mochi on a blue penguin skewer, spicy Japanese nuts and crackers
In the kinchaku: Ponkan orange and Mango-Milk Mousse Pocky
Yay for another Japan bento! I got most of the stuff here in Tokyo last week. I absolutely adore the blue usagi box, and it goes so well with the blue dog chopsticks I got with it. Today, I had Mango-Milk Mousse Pocky. It's pretty weird-tasting to me, haha, but I liked it.
Bento details!
Fun-shaped chicken nuggets (there's a diamond, arrow, and half-moon in there somewhere), cucumber slices in three different sakura shapes, a tomato, and a lovely little sauce container that I got from Japan Airlines.

Attention Pinoy bento people!
I made a community called PinoyBento. I noticed that we need a place to discuss local bento things, especially since BentoLunch has posts from all over the world and the congestion makes it a bit hard to find posts. It will be the place for discussing bento-making (or rather, baon-making) in the Philippines. Let's use it to share our secret Filipino food recipes, give and get directions to the places that sell local bento supplies, plan bento meetups with other Pinoy bento-makers, and talk about other local bento topics. But as we're affiliated with BentoLunch, I ask that you post all your bento pictures here, as well as in your own bento blogs. Go join it, yah? Nothing's there yet, but I'll get it going soon.
Top compartment: Hot and spicy tuna with nori hearts, rice, sakura cucumber slices
Bottom compartment: Spicy Japanese crackers, mochi on animal skewers, Japanese nuts with tiny spicy crackers
Starpped to the bento band: Strawberry Pocky, Japanese milk chocolate
There's nothing like a trip to Japan to get me out of my bento hiatus haha. I had an absolutely fantastic time there, and it really put me in the mood to make time for bento again. My main mission in Japan actually was to find bento stuff, and I did! I wasn't able to find a Daiso, but I did find some super kawaii bento things in Don Quixote in Shibuya. I also bought some tasty Japanese treats at one of Tokyo's many convenience stores. Today, I used my new San-X bento box! It's got Rilakkumma, Korilakkuma, and Kiroii Tori on it - it's love!
