Cinnamoroll, the popular Sanrio character, with its fluffy big ears, perfectly round eyes, and sweet smile, was brought to life by Mami-okusama with homemade red pickled ginger and nori. Its adorable charm stole my heart at first glance! Holding a cherry blossom-shaped piece of red pickled ginger in its little paws, it looks as though it’s thoroughly enjoying a springtime cherry blossom viewing. The cherry blossoms blooming all around Cinnamoroll are arranged in a colorful array using carrots, daikon, and komatsuna. The large blossom on the left was made by soaking salt-boiled daikon in plum vinegar, giving it a gentle pink hue. Its soft, natural color resembles real cherry blossoms, as if gently announcing the arrival of spring✨ The children who ate the bento were absolutely overjoyed, exclaiming, “It was the most delicious ever!” and “It was so cute!” Their teacher, who has a niece who loves Cinnamoroll, was so delighted she couldn’t resist taking a photo with her phone. And all their friends who love Cinnamoroll had hearts in their eyes ❤. Mami-okusama carefully adjusts the salt content of each side dish according to the children’s ages, taking the greatest care to support their healthy growth. The children’s delighted cries of “It was the most delicious ever!” are surely a reflection of the love that Mami-okusama pours into every detail of her cooking! Mami-okusama aims to create bentos that bring happiness both to the eyes and to the palate. The passion she holds for spreading the salvation through the vegan diet, as taught by Masaaki-sama, to as many people as possible is put into every single bento she prepares. Let us follow Mami-okusama’s example in whatever way we can, and devote ourselves to spreading the gospel! 【Bento Menu】＊ 30 percent polished rice cooked in a clay pot (200g) 🍚Rice was spread over the bottom two-thirds of the bento box, and finely torn pieces of nori were pressed on top to create the base. The shape of Cinnamoroll was then carefully formed, with its facial features designed using nori and homemade red pickled ginger. A cherry blossom-shaped piece of red pickled ginger was also placed in its paws. ＊ Napa cabbage mochiPreviously shared on Instagram. ＊ Simmered pumpkin and wood ear mushroomsFinished with freshly toasted and ground sesame seeds ＊ Komatsuna and wakame seaweed with sesame ponzu dressing ＊ Cherry blossom decorationsMade with salt-boiled carrots, daikon and komatsuna.

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.”
