Healthy Bento for Myself｜No-Fry Pork & Cheese Cutlet [ Hakone Onsen Trip ]

Healthy Bento for Myself｜No-Fry Pork & Cheese Cutlet [ Hakone Onsen Trip ]

In this vlog, I’m making a healthy bento just for myself.
The main dish is a non-fried pork & cheese cutlet—simple, nutritious, and balanced 🍱
In the second half, I share a trip to Hakone hot springs, a peaceful escape to refresh from the summer heat.

Thank you so much for your warm support—it truly means the world to me (´ω`) ♡

I’m adding subtitles while studying

English.
I’d be so happy if this helps me connect with people around the world…
If you notice any weird English, feel free to laugh :)))

Right now, I’m preparing to open a miniature food shop.
My dream is to have a booth at flea markets around the world someday.
I’m working toward that dream, little by little ⭐︎

You can select subtitles from the settings.

To all of you kind-hearted people—
thank you always.
I’m truly filled with gratitude ♡
