I like to watch Japan Everyone who knows anime knows that there is a cute Totoro in Hayao Miyazaki’s anime, which only cute and innocent children can see. The editor recommends how to make Totoro with grapefruit, let’s take a look!
1. It is best to choose grapefruit that is pointed at the top and round at the bottom. The shape is more like the shape of Totoro. The smaller it is, the cuter it is. . The Wendan pomelo we chose is a specialty of Taiwan. Although it is small, the flesh is plump and the skin is very thin. It also tastes fragrant and particularly sweet. It is definitely different from the pomelo we have eaten before. Then choose a picture of Totoro on the Internet. You will see that Yuzu and Totoro are very similar!
