“I Wanna Rock & Roll All Nite…” Bento #92

Kawaii Bento Club is hosting a “Rock My Bento” contest where you create a 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.  The KISS flag pick is made from a picture that I got off of the internet and attached to a pick.
