Here is the first bento for May! A sushi art roll to mark brand new start of the month, this time the character is Mickey Mouse! I hope you like this Mickey Mouse Sushi Art Roll Bento! Sushi art roll, known as kazarimaki-sushi in Japanese is a way of making sushi with designs.
I was certified in Tokyo as an instructor with the Japan Sushi Instructor Association, which some of you might know if you have been following my blog. Sushi art rolls are really fun to make! It is also a creative challenge and rewarding learning process especially when it comes to making your own designs.
Nonetheless, I still took some step by step pictures for you to take a look at how the sushi roll is created :)
The side dishes for today's bento include ketchup sauteed chicken with mushrooms and hard pressed tofu squares, garlic stir fry asparagus, lettuce, some Mickey Mouse/Minnie Mouse sausages (cute right? heh).
