By popular demand, the seaweed animals from Marunami (a present).
In individual packaging are..
…rectangular sheets.
With a little work…
…and some leftovers…
and here, you have the animals: duck, octopus, fish , dolphin and panda. (Rabbits, gone.)
P.S. In each individual package, there is more than one sheet of seaweed.

Anna (via contact form): I think the best thing to do is to save as much as you can before making the move. London is a city where money goes quickly. Everything else, house-hunting, job-hunting, and the like, can be sorted out when you’re here. Perhaps you’ll like to get a short-stay apartment for your first month, I’d recommend that over a home-stay.
Annie Clinton (via contact form): Perhaps you mean Automat? It’s an American-style brasserie, it’s OK. If you’re coming from New York, you have much better options for breakfast there.
wera and lottie: I brought home a Reiss enamel saucepan, two Falcon pie dishes, a sieve and a heat diffuser (all very practical, nothing indulgent). I could have also gotten more wooden cutlery, Lock and Lock boxes (an incredible variety) and glass jars.
Sam: It’s a herbal jelly my mum sent called gui ling gao (no longer made from turtle!).
July: Falcon enamelware new doesn’t cost very much at all. I got round pie dishes and they are £2 each… Unless if the used look is what you’re after.
Mette: Are there not any good kitchen shops where you are? I’m curious about Sevenoaks now.
marie: I was quite excited about the market but it’s actually tiny, only a few stalls. Luckily there are great shops surrounding the market.
Graham Hutson: I actually wondered about which dog you were talking about but I guess you mean the big, grey one.
sopchan: I was very amazed by those wood sets too, primitive yet elegant, if that makes sense. Your onion syrup concoction sounds really interesting (and time-consuming to make). Chest infection can take some time to shake off, mine took weeks. Have you worked out what is your imbalance – deficiency, excess, heat, cold or dampness – as sometimes a cold can be due to excess heat and conventional herbs for a cold are actually to be avoided.
mer and kongpowkitty: Ok, I will! I bought a pair of shoes from Tod’s. Changing Room is in Tunbridge Wells which is around 50 minutes by train from London Charing Cross, good day out.
Miguel: Thank you for your feedback.
Sneakymagpie: I’ve drawn up a list of places to escape to for the weekend. I don’t think I’m making use of my time here very well!
editor: I’m glad you like the peek. An old lady was in the apartment as you may have expected.
Denise | Chez Danisse: Nice you found little details that appeals to you from the pictures.

好可爱哦。。。如果叫我吃，还舍不得呢 ^^
oh yes, so cute! It looks like it might have been a little tricky tearing the shapes out.
That’s right the big grey Dulux dog!
Those seaweed animals look too cool to eat! You are supposed to eat them ..?

Those are really really cute! And I don’t think any of those could be considered “leftovers”. They’re all perfect. I wish they had that here where I live. What a lovely gift indeed. I especially love the dolphin and panda!
these are adorable!!!
kids (and adults) would have so much fun with this!!
AH! I know where the cut-out rabbit seaweed is now.
It was lying around my kitchen table and i ate it !
They looked like normal seaweed packs, didn’t know it was for decorative purposes.
ha! ha!
Yum!
OOH! So that’s how the Japanese do it. lol. I always wondered how they could cut anything so detailed on seaweed. :D
Thanks for replying about the Inverallan indigo. Good to know that they can be heavy (I thought about getting one; maybe a cropped vest then?). Do you think these seaweed animals are meant for bento boxes?
To answer your reply to the Tunbridge Wells posts; yes, there are good kitchenshops in Copenhagen – it´s just not the same as the ones in England – they stock stuff, that you´ll only find at flea markets here !
And you should stop by Sevenoaks ! It too has a Farmers market saturdays and wednesdays. It´s a very pretty town, with loads of good charity shops and Knole Park is lovely. It´s good being back in Copenhagen, but I do miss Sevenoaks and England sometimes.
ah ! if i knew what to do with them i would immediately try to find some in NY.
So adorable! And the lines so clean!
the panda has such a cute face!
any idea if there’s shops in london that stock these? it would be a perfect present for my onigiri obsessed friend ellyn <3

i’m obsessed with bento making :X
