Home cooking is back and looks like it’s going to stay for a while. We are looking at changing things up making ordinary food fun and Japan seems to always be the master of that! From different decorations for bento boxes to wagashi (a Japanese style dessert). Each is carefully designed in detail and full of visual impact. If we dig into their food habit deeper, there is a trace of European influence reflecting on some of the delicious creations they make. As the title of this article have brought you here, yes, we are switching up our normal boring sandwiches today into fruit flower sandwiches.
