Originally, I was going to call this post "Kitty Porn," but in the wrong context, it just wouldn't be right.

Kitty Porn or not, this is quite possibly the most elaborate, intricate bento box I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of bento boxes. Not only is it Hello Kitty (you all know how much I love the little white, mouthless kitty, right?), but it's Hello Kitty in a lettuce (maybe it's cabbage?) leaf Totoro costume, surrounded by all the flowers, bugs and creatures of the forest. I have no idea if someone actually got to eat this masterpiece. All I know is that the most elaborate bento lunch I'd ever get is Mr. Bento.

I think the green leaves are green pickled shiso leaves. Shiso also has a red variety. It's been called Asian Mint, although I think it's flavor is more akin to a peppery green like arugala.

I couldn't even eat that if it was in my lunch.

That has to be the most adorable bento box ever created. I wonder how long it took to make.

What an awesome Bento. Something that combines Totoro, food, artistry, AND Hello Kitty. What fun! I know it's awesome, but I would still eat it, and enjoy every bite!

i always feel bad when faced with foods with, well...faces. it gives me a feeling of utter evil-villian-ness to chomp down the cute little buggers when they're staring back at you...that said, i think i would have to swallow (no pun intended!) my evil feelings and still go after it...i mean, who can resist such a yummy looking bento anyway? a few nights of guilt ridden dreams of half eaten cute little critters is a low, low price to pay for something so...mmmmm.

I don't generally like cute food, but that is truly impressive. I wonder if it tastes as good as it looks.

Great read, would anyone happen to know the reason why the creators of Hello Kitty made her without a mouth??? Or was it just a manufacturer's mistake that made a mint???
