"Transforming Convenience Store Meat Buns into Fun Character Creations with Toppings!"

The Season When Meat Buns Appear in Convenience Stores ♩

It's already the second half of September.

The days are gradually starting to feel a bit chilly, and meat buns and oden have begun to appear in front of the registers at convenience stores.

Every year, when I see that scene, I think, "Winter is coming!" ♩

Personally, I really love meat buns and often eat them for lunch, but this year, I'm thinking of trying to make "decorated meat buns"!

Decorated meat buns are meat buns that are decorated to look like characters by placing parts on top of them.

It would be great to make them from scratch, but since that’s a bit difficult, I’m considering giving some cute arrangements to the meat buns I buy at the convenience store.♡

I've summarized some arrangement ideas for decorated meat buns ♩

Arrangement Idea 1 for Decorated Meat Buns

This one is Anpanman ♡ The cheeks are made with crab sticks, and the eyes and mouth are made with seaweed.

(To help the seaweed stick better, a little mayonnaise was used as glue underneath.)

It's amazing how easily a meat bun can be turned into a character like this! ♩

Arrangement Idea 2 for Decorated Meat Buns

This one is a panda-themed meat bun sold in Yokohama's Chinatown,

but you might be able to create a similar appearance using seaweed with convenience store meat buns...? ♡

Making the eyes bigger is a key point to make it look cute.

(It seems like you could easily create Snoopy or a polar bear with just seaweed as well...!)

Arrangement Idea 3 for Decorated Meat Buns

Amazing...!

I also found a Marco-inspired arrangement from Porco Rosso＊

The materials used are ham, seaweed, and the goggles are probably small pieces of apple...?

The idea is just incredible! ♡

Doesn’t that sound like something you’d want to try...?

There are only a few photos I found this time, but depending on the ideas for materials, it seems like you could create various characters! ♩
