    Japanese Food Art

    Published: Jul 1, 2010 · Modified: Oct 27, 2014 by Jennifer Che

    I've been a bit busy this week, and thus haven't had as much time to write up extensive blog posts. I did want to share something with you today to make you smile.

    I love Doraemon, the Japanese cat-robot. I once even made him into a Japanese rice ball. These are Doraemon cakes from 7-11 that my mom brought all the way back from Taiwan. Aren't they cute?

    I also love Domokun, the little Japanese brown monster that's NHK's mascot. I even made him into hamburgers awhile back. I thought it was cute that he was eating a bowl of rice with chopsticks. Fitting for a food blog, right? According to the NHK official website, Domo's favorite food is actually a Japanese beef potato stew. I love this dish too, although I've only seen it and had it in Boston at one particular Japanese restaurant.

    At one point, I was so obsessed with Domokun that I sewed a bunch of Domo-themed bags for myself!

    If you go to NHK's official Domokun site, you can play these games and then download some really cute wallpapers and clocks.

    Have a wonderful day!
