Where did you get the idea to create your cute foodies characters?

How do you decide which theme and characters to create?

“I love cute cartoon or animation characters. I Just make a decision which character I want to make, and what ingredients I have at the moment. I’m googling for some pics of that character, for reference.“

Which character do you like to create best?

“Totoro from the “My neighbor Totoro” movie is my favorite character. I love him for being something gray and chubby”

Are the materials you use healthy and safe to consume?

“Most of my rice ball creations are dyed with color that is of a natural source. So it is surely safe to consume in terms of health. Sometimes I use food coloring in small amounts.”

What is the usual work process for creating these cute foodies? How long does it take?

“At first I decide which character I want to make >> sketch the image in my mind, and sometimes look for some more pictures on the internet >> prepare the ingredients >> create the cute foodies >> set them on the plate/lunch box. It takes around 1-2 hours, depending on the amount of detail.”
