Japan, January 22, 2013

A delightfully delicious YouTube series featuring a pint-sized Japanese girl with an adventurous appetite for international cuisine has become quite the viral smash.

In the video series entitled "Rino which eats world various dishes", 3-year-old Rino tucks into a variety of international dishes such as tiramisu, angel food cake, pad thai and pho created by her mother.

Rino's cute expressions and squeals of appreciation add to the 3-year-old's charm, and it comes as no surprise that her videos are popular on Youtube.

A video of her eating the Korean dishes jap-chae and bibimbap racked up more than 243,000 views alone.

However, as Buzzfeed's Emily Fleischaker points out, the videos - as cute as they are - may also carry a more serious message for parents and kids about food culture.

"[The series is also] about how picky eating is a cultural construct," Fleischaker writes, quoting food blogger Michele Humes.
