KYARABEN.

KYARABEN is… JAPANESE PACKED LUNCHES.
Most of you may know that we Japanese are obsessed with detail and presentation.

Here is a great example: packed lunches. Parents not only think about nutritional balance of the lunches but also the presentation. We have a word, irodori, which literally translates to “variety of color” or “vividness”.  We use it in all kinds of situations, but we use it a lot for food as well.

Japanese moms and dads are taking it to the next level with kyaraben: character bentos which are meticulously-made packed lunches that are designed to look like their kid’s favorite cartoon characters. Check out the video below.

My sister and I recently made a quick kyaraben for my baby nephew for an impromptu picnic. It took a little time to make but it was so worth it when he opened the box and said, “Anpanman!” (the face is a famous cartoon character in Japan) and devoured the lunch in minutes!

IKEA TV.

Along with the recent IKEA Camera that Jerry posted, I really like the brand extension moves IKEA is making. Here they announce an entire integrated television system. MacHeads are smacking their foreheads asking “WHEN?!?!”
