Susan Yuen made this awesome KISS “I Wanna Rock and Roll All Nite” bento box for the “Rock My Bento” contest hosted by the Kawaii Bento Club in 2010. Participants were tasked with creating bento based on a favorite song, band, or album cover.
“If I had to chose one hard rock song that I remember growing up, it would be “Rock and Roll All Nite” from the band KISS. Though I loved the song, I remember the band members even more. I mean who doesn’t recognize KISS with all of their funky make-up and outer space garb! I chose to make Gene Simmons for my bento since he was KISS’s front man. Gene is basically one big musubi - molded out of rice and stuffed with chicken karaage. His hair is made from hijiki (a Japanese seaweed) that I cooked in shoyu, sugar, and mirin. Gene’s eyes and mouth are made out of kamaboko and his tongue from bologna. I also packed some grapes, broccoli, and a cherry tomato around his head.”
