Mom's Love Bento #1 — Sausage, Little Fried Fish, Cake & Melon
A little bit of everything, each in its own square. Sausage slices with sweet onions, little fried fish golden from the pan, cherry tomatoes over crisp cabbage, fluffy white rice — and cake with sweet melon to finish. Simple, homemade, and just enough.
