A distinct feature of the pressure cooker is that it only takes 1/3 of the cooking time compared to a conventional pot. But when it comes to sekihan, not only does the pressure cooker cut down cooking time, but it also lets you skip the preparation work from the day before. What a surprise! Adding to that, it's foolproof! Amazing, isn't it! This is my family's emergency go-to dish.

Basic ratios.
white rice: glutinous rice: water: adzuki beans= 2: 3: 4: 0.5.
salt: about 3/5 teaspoon (3 ml) per 1 rice cooker cup.
When cooking a small amount of sekihan, I recommend measuring out the ingredients in a small container. Since the sekihan will be topped with black sesame seeds & salt, as long as you don't add too much, you don't have to be precise when measuring out the salt. Recipe by Yuukotanaka

Caution 1: Cooking time will differ depending on your pressure cooker, so adjust accordingly. Caution 2: The sekihan might burn if parts of your pressure cooker are not in good condition, like if it has a damaged rubber sealing ring.
