What Makes Food "Kawaii" Food?

To answer the wondrous question of "What makes food "kawaii" food?" one should first look at the food and wonder what kind of emotions do this food bring out in you? If the food makes you think of cute, snuggles, love, and everything that makes you say awwww, well then you have yourself some Official Kawaii Food!

A CHECKLIST to see if your food is KAWAII or not :

Is your food served on a cute plate, or you have a cute cup to drink out of ? It is KAWAII FOOD!
Does your utensils look cute and/or have bows, hearts, or even faces of kitties? It is KAWAII FOOD!

Since the word Kawaii means cute, cute food is Kawaii!

You can even make your own food kawaii but just altering some of it. If you wanted to make your meal kawaii you need to ask yourself what can I do to make this food cute? Simple things such as changing the colors of a food by adding food safe dyes and gels can make a simple plate of food spring up with pastels and rainbows. You can even cut your food into kawaii inspired shapes and animals.
