I wanted to make something simple for my bento.

It's okay to give the sakura petals just a quick rinse. You'll get a better sakura smell if you don't soak the petals in water. Recipe by Asamato

1

Add the sushi vinegar to the freshly cooked white rice along with 5 of the cherry blossoms, finely chopped and rinsed, and mix well.
2

Stuff this mixture into the inari abura-age and decorate with the remaining cherry blossoms.

It's better if you don't add any other fillings; that way you can get the full aroma of the sakura.

I recommend simple and delicious steamed sakura buns for dessert. You can find the recipe here:.
