Decorative Cut

Decorative Cut Only simple decorative cut makes Bento beautiful immediately as a flower blooms.
Cut the white part of quail eggs with point of a kitchen knife to make a notch. They are soft enough to open easily. Sprinkle dry parsley and make it brilliant.
Choose harder cherry tomatoes. Incise them from three parts radially and make them like a flower.
Cut off both ends of wiener. Incise them from three parts radially. Cut the long part in half lengthwise, then cut it at intervals of five millimeter. Cook the wiener so that both ends come to open. Roll up and stick the ends with picker. It looks like a sunflower.

Cut wiener in half. Incise the cut ends from three parts radially. Cook the wiener so that cut ends come to open, like a flower blooming.
Put corns or peas inside the opened part of wiener. Now it gets cuter!
