- 1 Carrot (sliced, cut in flower shapes and cooked with soy sauce)
- 1 bunch Broccolini
- 22 cm width Plastic wrap
- Cook 5 rice cooker cups of rice with the 'sushi rice' water level, and make sushi rice.
- 130 g sugar, 125 g rice vinegar, 10 g salt is my recipe for the sushi vinegar - we like it on the sweet side.

- Use some broccolini boiled in salt water to decorate the prince's head.
- Use a carrot flower cooked in soy sauce for the princess.
- Cut the crab sticks into quarters.
- Make scrambled eggs (iri tamago); I flavor mine with sugar and salt.
- Prepare the sakura denbu and salmon flakes.
- If you want to use other ingredients, make them ready also.
- Spread out a piece of plastic wrap and arrange the face directly on the plastic wrap.
- When making the princess, place a carrot flower on her head, and when making the prince, place a piece of broccolini on his head.
- Place the hair parts afterwards.
- If you place the nori eyes, ham mouth, and sakura denbu cheeks towards the center of the rice ball, it will look very cute.
- Gently top with sushi rice, add the filling and then very gently add a bit more sushi rice.
- Lift up the 4 corners of the plastic wrap and form it into a ball.
- Make the prince in the same way.
- These are great in bentos too.
- Make lots of carrot flowers to use as decoration, and to make the bento very cute.
