Book Reviews of Face Food:The Visual Creativity of Japanese Bento Boxes

Book Review: Mangia! Mangia! Manga!??
Summary: 5 Stars

There are many blogs of people who create delightful little obento (Japanese lunchbox) food and this is a fun form of art that orignated with little snack boxes available at theater in Japan.

But now, people have taken this food to a real artform. Imagine a Manga character or a Pokemon created in carrot, salmon, radish and other foods that is so realistic, it takes you aback. Someone is going to have to make a decision; eat that little lunch or just gaze at its perfection! The designs in this small format book are phenomenal. A snowman, a Geisha, complete with kimono and landscape in background.

If you enjoy making your own bento creations, or if you like Japanese pop culture, this is a delightful little book. Note that it is not an instruction book or recipe guide; you would have to figure out how these edible art ideas are done yourself. Good gift for a chef or someone who is fascinated by the arts of Japan.
