Inarizushi

 Inarizushi is one of popular sushi and often made at home in Japan. Because it is easy kind of sushi to make with food results.

Inarisushi is a clump of sushi rice in a fried tofu pocket. Raw fish is not used for Inarizushi, therefore it is common food for picnic as well.

The picture is Obento I made with my nephew when I visited Japan and we took out Obento for a picnic. To make it fun we decorated with Japanese and Swedish flags.

Obento includes Inarisushi, Edamame(soybeans), Kamaboko( made of pureed white fish), Rolled pork with vegetable and Kyoho (Japanese Grape). Kyoho is one of my favorite fruits, it is extremely sweet..

It is important how to decorate to make it beautiful even it is not easy though.  For kids lunch box, mothers try to decorate Obento with animal or character goods to intrigues kids and motivate to eat. 

Japansk kultur på Östasiatiska museet

I went to Östaistiska Museet where Japanese cultural events were held on 9th of September.

This is a mini Obento which mean small lunch box with several dishes. Obento is very common in Japan and you can easily access to get at supermarkets and convenience stores. Previously I wrote about Ekiben which is also one of Obento and sold at only stations.    

Above picture shows Kyudo, Japanese archery, which is one of traditional Japanese sports. As all Budo ( traditional Japanese sports) includes the idea of moral and spiritual development. I can not deny this interesting combination with the traditional Japanese sport and the typical Stockholm background.  

I can say that this is getting new Japanese culture called cospre. Two girls wear in Samurai costume and they really look like Samurai. I enjoyed many young peoples cospre shows.
