Nom, nom, nom

Paper tableware by Wasara could redefine my definition of a picnic. This Tokyo-based company creates eco-friendly goods, made with reed pulp, bamboo and sugarcane waste. Each dish is designed to be held while a person eats. But more than anything, I admire the simplicity. Considering that cooking can be such a blissful experience, shouldn't consuming the end result be that way too?

Wasara dishes are sold in stores throughout Japan, and are also available on the company's Web site.
