Hina Matsuri Bento

I still have some bentos not shared but I thought I will share the Hina Matsuri bentos I've made today first. Hina Matusuri or Girls' Day is a festival in Japan. The family in Japan celebrates the festival by displaying cute small dolls and the emperor and the empress lie on the top row.  And it's very common to see Japanese making the emperor and empress in their bentos as they get near to this festival. :)

I made another version for their snackbox. These are jam sandwiches, packed with grapes and meatballs.
