Look at how Ponyo and Sosuke are looking at their bowls of ramen! We have the same heart eyes for En93kitchen's recreation with the pork slices and marinated egg. ?

In My Neighbor Totoro, Satsuki takes care of household chores while her mother is in the hospital, including making her younger sister a packed bento lunch! En93kitchen's real life version has all the same ingredients with fluffy white rice, shishamo fish, edamame, sakura denbu and a dried plum.

Tales from Earthsea is a film directed by Gorō Miyazaki, Hayao Miyazaki's son. The combination of cheese and onions in a sandwich is definitely something to try out!

From Up on Poppy Hill is another film directed by Gorō Miyazaki and scripted by Hayao Miyazaki. En93kitchen's recreation of the bento from the film looks just as hearty and delicious!

Last but not least are the big steamed buns, onigiri and simple meals the characters had while working in the bathhouse in Spirited Away.
