I would like introduce this cute Baon made by my cousin. She made this Baon for her 4 years old son to response for son's request.
Her son's request is a demon. This demon is Japanese traditional style.
Face: Rice mixed salmon flakes
Eyes and fang : Kamaboko* and dried laver seaweed
Hair : Scrambled egg
*Kamaboko: Boiled fish past
My cousin makes lunch box once a week and she usually responses to her son's request. (He requested "Dog" for his Baon last week.)
I will introduce Japanese style lunch box made by my relatives and friends also!!
In Japan, we have an event on February 3 called "Setsubun". Setsubun means " division of seasons". However, "setsubun" has now come to mean the day before the first day of spring only. We throw roasted beans while saying "Oni wa soto. Fuku wa uchi". Oni means Demon in Japanese. On this day, someone play a role of demon wearing the demon mask, we throw roasted beans to hit against the demon. After throwing the beans, people customarily eat one roasted soy bean, for each year of their age, and pray for happiness throughout the year.
