Steps

1

Wash the mochi rice right before you cook. Cook in a rice cooker with 2 cups of water (not listed). (This is the same as when you cook regular white rice).
2

Leave to stand for 10 minutes once it's cooked to steam. (Leave the rice cooker with the lid closed.)
3

Take the inside pot and sprinkle salt while the rice is still hot. Using a dampened pestle, mash the rice grains until it is still a bit lumpy.
4

If you mash the rice completely, it will become mochi. Spread katakuriko on your hands and roll the mochi into a ball. Dust a plate with katakuriko and transfer the mochi to the plate.
5

Use about 1 g (1/5 teaspoon) of salt; a pinch of salt. A pinch is the amount you can hold between your forefinger, middle finger, and thumb.
6

While the rice dough (Step 3) is still hot, wet your hands and divide into 10 pieces in a round shape.
7

For half of the rice balls (5 balls), wrap the anko bean paste in the rice dough.
8

Combine the kinako powder, sugar and salt in a shallow container and mix well. Dust the rice cakes (Step 7) while rolling in the container.
9

Flatten a tablespoon of anko bean paste in a moistened and tightly wrung cloth. Place a plain rice ball (Step 6) on it and wrap the anko around the rice ball, rolling it out with your fingers.
