If you want to prepare food in the shape of characters, Mameshiba is the way to go. Mameshiba are a hybrid of beans and dogs and very popular characters in Japan. Their bean shape is quite easy and can be made with different food. We found a couple of great examples on different blogs:

For a couple of weeks already you can buy Mameshiba products in our shop. We’re super happy to have lots of stationery items, cellphone accessories and plush toys with the Japanese iconic bean dogs. While we were researching about them, we found a lot of cute little animated short clips revolving around the different Mameshiba characters. They are just a couple of seconds longs and always contain some funny trivia. Take a look at the clips for Mameshiba, green pea, black bean, Peanut and Natto.
Green is all we see, because we have been adding lots of Mameshiba products to our shop. Now you can find a big mixture of charms, plush toys, wallets, memo pads, pens, stickers, phone accessories, mobile phone plugs and bento accessories on modes4u.com.
Mameshiba are super popular Japanese characters, which are bean dogs. The most popular one is the green Edamame Mameshiba, but there are also lots of other characters such as Black Bean, Chili Bean, Tiger Bean, Sword Bean, Jelly Beans and so on. We also carry products from the cute Babyshiba series, in which the Mameshiba bean dogs are little babies, as well as the “Mameshiba x Kyary Pamyu Pamyu” collection, for which the Japanese kawaii singer Kyary Pamyu Pamyu collaborated with Mameshiba manufacturer Dentsu and created bean dogs with bows, unicorns and punks.

Here they are, the first two Mameshiba products we carry in our shop. Of course they are our favourite product of the week, as we have been working super hard to get them. They are iPhone hard covers for all iPhones 4S or 4 with very colourful Mameshiba bean designs. We think they are super cool as the patterns are slightly retro but the Mameshiba characters are super kawaii.
