Bento Box Recipes
Here is something to tell your anime/manga patrons and in particular One Piece fans. Shueisha, a Japanese publishers, is releasing a recipe book inspired by Eiichiro Odo’s manga One Piece. The book will be entitled One Piece Kaizoku Bento Book and will sell for a suggested 1,380 yen or $18.00 in U.S. currency. If they have any friends in Japan or one of the Websites that sell Japanese anime/manga items might get this book for them to purchase. It would be a unique piece for thier collection and it would be fun translating the book to make the recipes.
