They are home-packed meals which can be very elaborately arranged and the food is decorated to look like people, animals, or characters and items such as flowers and plants. **Obacchi Jacket Lunch Box** started selling custom-made Bento boxes designed to recreate a selection of [classic album covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-smashing-pumpkins-and-vosges-hautchocolat). Included in this selection are the **Jimi Hendrix Electric Ladyland** lunch, made with nori seaweed, paprika (red & orange), egg and rice. The **Kiss Destroyer** lunch, made using egg, nori, ume (Japanese plum), kamaboko and rice. **The Velvet Underground** is made with Nori, egg and rice. **Weezer** is made of cabbage, nori, ham, kamaboko, paprika, rice and finally, the **King Crimson - In the Court Of The King Crimson** is made with mentaiko (cod roe), kamaboko, ham, nori and rice.
