Blushing Bunny Bento

34 comments


It's almost Easter, so I decided to make something Easter-related : an Easter bunny :)! Well, at least my version of an Easter bunny - a rabbit with a pink bunny costume ;). I love rabbits anyway, so making this bento was a lot of fun. My long time readers should know that I even have four rabbits which I love to death :D).

If you want to try to recreate this bunny at home, scroll down and look at the (short) tutorial below. Please excuse the blurry pictures...!

Blushing Bunny Onigiri
  • Cooked white rice
  • Cooked pink rice (you can use Sakura denbu, beet juice or a drop of red food colouring to colour your rice.)
  • White-coloured cheese for the nose and to accentuate the eyes
  • Nori (roasted seaweed) for eyes, nose and lips
  • Plastic wrap to shape the rice


Form the pink rice into a half-moon shape. This will be used to cover the bunny's head.



Make two long ovals for the ears.




Using the white rice, make a round ball, then cover it with the pink half-moon shaped onigiri.

Afterwards you only need to attach the ears and then add the eyes, nose and lips. I blushed her cheeks with pink edible dusting powder.




Filling: Blushing bunny onigiri, fried shrimps (ebi furai), cheese chicken nuggets, a piece of broccoli decorated with cheese and red currant, green beans/smoked ham rolls, tamagoyaki, Tonkatsu sauce and mayonnaise (in the blue and pink polka-dot containers), 2 slices of orange, 2 pieces of strawberries, a few pieces of sugar snap peas, a flower ham and 2 pieces of faur watermelon (from cucumber, surimi and black sesame seeds).

I will make some more Easter-themed bentos or sweet goodies in the next few days, so stay tuned :)!

  29. @ Sysyl - It's actually not very big, I would say about medium size.

    @Tubuko DX - Thank you Tubuko :). I think most people in Germany have never heard of bento, but there's a growing population on bento lovers here even though it's small and slow.
