• Put the appetizers into a nice Japanese bento tray. Top them each with half the prawns and then caviar. Add rosemary for aroma and presentation.
• Transfer the Rilakkuma Inari Age to the party tray, and add caviar to the eyes. Add them last as the caviar may move due to the smooth surface of the fish cakes.
• Decorate the tray with Baran Sushi Grass Dividers. Cover and refrigerate until you're ready to serve.
• If you're bringing it to a party, make sure you put it in a cooler bag with dry ice if possible. Be ready to impress your guests!
