Cute Food is Edible Art | Kawaii is Not Just for Kids

Some of my kids love all things Asian.  That's how I learned about the joys of Kawaii.  Kawaii cooking is considered a form of edible art. The food isn’t just for eating; it’s often photographed and shared on social media for its visual appeal.  (But I eat it!)  Here are a few fun facts.

1. Kawaii means cute.  Kawaii cooking, or "kawaii bentos," originated in Japan where the term "kawaii" means cute. It involves creating visually adorable and whimsical food designs, often inspired by popular anime and manga characters.

2. Cooking Ingredients: Kawaii cooking primarily uses ingredients like rice, seaweed, vegetables, and fruits, which are transformed into delightful shapes.

3. How Do They Get Those Shapes? Cookie Cutters: Special kawaii cookie cutters are often used to cut vegetables, cheese, and other ingredients into cute shapes, making it easier to create charming designs.

4. Fun Learning for Kids: Allowing children to create kawaii food can make mealtime more enjoyable and encourage them to try new foods.

5. 'Tis the Season!: People often incorporate seasonal themes and holidays using Kawaii cooking.  For example:  Make cute ghost-shaped rice balls and jack-o'-lanterns made from vegetables for Halloween.

   
   
   

Kawaii cooking is all about making food fun and enjoyable, not just for kids, but for anyone who loves a bit of whimsy in their meals!
