Popin' Cookin' Make Bento

I ordered this for my younger sister because she's been watching videos of people making this stuff on Youtube for ages now, so we were both pretty excited when it finally arrived! It takes a few weeks to ship but it comes all the way from Japan so that's understandable. Although the box was kind of bent up when it arrived, everything inside was fine. It was really fun to make! The textures of the food were weird but all the flavors were good. I'd recommend it and will probably order again!

I got this because i had seen people on youtube do it and seemed super fun. Although it was fun and easy activity the candy you make or whatever is not yummy (in my opinion) i did not like it 😂😂 it was a weird texture and way too sweet. but its fun.

I put a little too much water in one part, the "broccoli", but otherwise it was very cute and not bad to eat.The black powder used on the rice part is very sour, like kool-aid powder. The rest of the flavors are fruity, some more sweet than others.I was a little disappointed that they removed the sprinkle packet from this kit, but it was still fun to assemble!

I ordered this on the 14th of February, got it on the 26th. Now that's fast! Onto the Bento...Everything was really fun to make, lots of steps. It tasted ok, the rice tastes faintly of bubblegum, all the veggies are flavored according to their color (lemon, lime, cherry?), the brown ball (breaded something) tasted kind of like orange and the orange paste (noodles) tasted godawful. Make it, but don't put it in your mouth. It's literally like a thick paste that coats your mouth with a plastic chemical taste. Kind of like flour and water. Not good. The best part were the black sprinkles which add a sour tang to everything. My advice would be to save most of it for the veggies and dip everything in the sprinkles; it really brought out their flavors!Tips:Don't overstir the broccoli (green jelly) or it'll get clumpy. Also, pour the water in the mold before the powder so that it comes out of its mold easier.Don't fill the water cup all the way when measuring for the red jelly (octopus shaped mold), it overflows from a design flaw.Directions are easy to follow if you match all the packets to their corresponding colors. The red rectangle with 1 or 2 in it indicates how many "cups" of water to add to each mixture.All in all, it's really fun to make and mix, and tastes ok if you add the black sprinkles to everything.

Entertaining, fun to make, not so great to eat. Horrible, weird textures and gross flavors. Not a fan.

This kit is very fun and I loved the taste of the 'rice' and 'croquette'. The gummies are okay, the standard 'loose jello' consistency of these kinds of kids with a decent punch of flavor, lime for the 'broccoli', cherry for the 'hot dog' and so forth. The only miss for me was the 'noodles'. I don't know if it came out to loose or if I cut the hole to big or what, but I ended up with something closer to soft serve ice cream than a noodle.All in all I'd definitely try it again for the fun factor alone.

this arrived the other day (late for Christmas, but my fault for ordering late)I ordered the 5 pack & the bento kit. My son really wanted the sushi kit. he does not know about the others. we are saving those for later. He is 15 & can handle this without my help. Little ones would need help. He giggled the whole time he was making it. the fish eggs were our favorite. the instructions are in Japanese, but there are pictures that are pretty easy to follow. he said the candy was delicious!Can't wait to give him the others!!

My kids really liked making this food. It didn’t taste as bad as I expected and my kids said it tasted good.Nothing looked quite like it was supposed to, but the panda was kind of cute. My kids had a lot of fun mixing everything together and making the shapes. Not sure if totally worth the price, but my kids had a lot of fun and asked me to buy more.
