Mei-sama, the eldest daughter of Masaaki-sama and Mami-okusama, recently marked the completion of her second-grade year 🌸 For her last day of school, Mami-okusama made a special “daisuki (I love you) bento.” After the recent “thank-you bento”, Mei-sama asked for another bento containing her favorite hijiki rice, saying, “I want to have it again! 💕,” inspiring this second version. Mami-okusama made it with the heartfelt message, “I love everything about you ♡.” One can just picture Mei-sama’s face lighting up with great joy at the sight of this bento filled with love. ✨ The taste of the bento that made Mei-sama wish from the bottom of her heart, “I want to have it again! 💕” reflects the true appeal of Christian veganism as shown to us by Masaaki-sama! Just as Masaaki-sama taught us through his Sacred Word for “Mami-okusama’s tulip bento,” let us learn from the bento contents that Mami-okusama has shared with us, focusing on the contents of the bento over its appearance. 【Bento contents received from Mami-okusama】＊ 30% polished rice cooked in a clay pot (250g) 🍚Simmered hijiki is mixed into the rice to create a gently flavored hijiki rice. Plum vinegar, recommended by Masaaki-sama, is added as a secret ingredient. ＊ Miso soupIn addition to seasonal vegetables, I always include seaweed. ＊ Rainbow 🌈A rainbow was created by layering three colors: simmered kiriboshi daikon, simmered carrots, and salt-boiled rapeseed blossoms.

Also known as Japan’s Vegan Beauty, she is the wife of and Aide to Masaaki-sama (Masaaki Okada), World Church of Messiah’s Representative of Kyoshu. She is a vegan recipe developer focusing on the Japanese vegan diet. She is the first to establish the “vegan deco ben” (vegan decorative bento) and “vegan kyara ben” (vegan character bento) genres. Not only are they beautiful to the eye, these bento are created entirely from plant-based ingredients, in line with what Masaaki-sama teaches on the truth of food, that seasonal and local eating rooted in the climate and terrain of Japan is the most beneficial for health and well-being, that is, to eat what grows in one’s local region. Through these and also through the creation of her many original recipes, she seeks to spread the Christian vegan diet—the true healthy diet. She graduated from University of Tsukuba. During her studies there, she became actively involved in volunteer activities such as refugee support. She was also repeatedly asked to participate in the Miss Tsukuba Contest and was approached by many modeling agencies, but she declined all of these offers as she wanted to focus on refugee support activities. In recognition of her efforts in refugee support, she received the University of Tsukuba President’s Award in 2012. She holds a license to teach English to intermediate and high school students. After graduating from university, she began working for World Church of Messiah in 2013. In 2014, she married Masaaki-sama, the great-grandson of the founder of World Church of Messiah, Meishu-sama (Mokichi Okada 1882–1955), and the representative and successor of Kyoshu-sama. On May 24, 2026, on the day of Pentecost, she assumed the position of Aide to the Representative of Kyoshu. Currently, while raising three children, she is working tirelessly unlike anyone else in the practice and spread of the Christian vegan diet as taught in Masaaki-sama’s revolutionary message: “Jesus Christ was the last and ultimate sacrifice—so it is no longer necessary to eat a diet that comes with the suffering of animals.”
