what is chuka tako?

[KantanRyouri]

@VongolaFamilgia baby octopus with some sauce. usually get to eat that from sushi shops

[missAWESOMEjuliet]

How about cutting the sandwich when it's still in the pan. Would that work? Btw, I love your bentos! They're what got me into trying to make them^^

[KantanRyouri]

@missAWESOMEjuliet tried it too but it didn't work. it needs to be compressed and stayed longer for the rice to set. i will try one again very soon ^_^

[sadbunny13]

i love how you decorate the lunch box but how would you close it with the octopus sausages??

[KantanRyouri]

@sadbunny13 haha! i got this question a lot. "How do you close the lid?" You can place the octopus lower and close it but the bento box that I used in this video has higher space, so even by placing the octopus the way I showed in the video, I can still close it.

[VongolaFamilgia]

@therhinoskull No it's chuka tako. Tako is octopus in Japanese. I didn't know what chuka was so I asked her

[therhinoskull]

@VongolaFamilgia are you sure you don't mean chuck a taco?

[itsmekayzhie]

i bet that bento tastes good.
