Contents: Corn cream croquettes with tonkatsu sauce (a popular kids' bento item), sliced cucumber, plain rice ball with strips of pre-cut nori, sliced takuan pickles, and slices of kamaboko (fish cake) cut to loosely resemble rabbits. The side dish holds cherries and grapes.  Morning prep time: 10 minutes to pack, plus 10 minutes to let everything totally cool before closing the lids to avoid soggy croquettes.
