Make any bento instantly kawaii with the Neko Kao Onigiri Set!
This convenient plastic mold set lets you shape your rice into adorable feline faces with ease. Whether you're making a classic white kitty or a "calico" cat using a dash of soy sauce, this set provides everything you need to bring your lunch to life.
The set includes specialized cutters to create eyes, whiskers, and tiny mouths out of nori seaweed, as well as a food cutter for ham or cheese accents. It’s the perfect way to make even the pickiest eaters look forward to lunch!
Made in Japan
How to Use
As with all onigiri, we recommend using Japanese rice (short grain rice). Brown rice works too but may not stick together as well as white rice.
- Prep: Lightly wet the inside of the cat head mold with water to prevent sticking.
- Fill: Pack rice into the mold using the handle to hold it steady.
- Shape: Press down firmly using the lid piece to compress the rice into the cat shape.
- Release: Flip the mold over and press the center to release the rice ball onto your plate or bento box.
- Cut: Place a sheet of nori seaweed or a slice of cheese/ham onto the silicone mat. Use the cutters to punch out the facial features.
- Decorate: Use chopsticks or tweezers to place your features. Pro tip: Use a tiny bit of mayo as "glue" if the nori won't stay in place!
