Japan's national bird is the green pheasant, but internet fandom might have you convinced its the long-tailed tit. The long-tailed tit, or shima enaga in Japanese, is sometimes called "the cutest bird in Japan" and often compared to Pokemon. Usually dusted in snow and found perched on tree branches in Hokkaido, the bird's adorable appearance warrants the comparison.

@daily_simaenaga packed the daikon oroshi (grated daikon radish) perfectly like a snowball to capture the fluffy and round nature of the long-tailed tit, and filled out details like the legs, tail, and facial features with strips of nori seaweed. The branch they're perched upon is made out of atsuyaki tamago, a particularly thick and fluffy Japanese omelet. All in all, it's a meal that may be too cute to eat!
And of course, the chopstick rest is also a mini version of the bird.
