I thought up a recipe that would be good to include in a hanami bento.

It's best to flavor the sushi rice well so that you don't need any soy sauce for dipping. You can enjoy the flavors and aromas of the cherry blossoms and spring vegetables better without soy sauce. Recipe by Asamato

Steps

1

Pat the bamboo shoot dry, and brown the surface in a nonstick frying pan. Slice the top pointy part only.
2

Blanch the nanohana quickly, and fix their color in ice cold water.
3

Put a piece of cured ham on plastic wrap, add 40 grams of sushi rice and squeeze the wrap closed tightly.
4

Rinse a salted cherry blossom, place it on top of the sushi ball and it's done.
5

Make a simlar rice ball with a slice of bamboo shoot and a sansho leaf. The combination of bamboo shoots and sansho is a sign on spring.
6

The nanohana version.
7

Pack these with you for your next hanami picnic.
8

To make the sushi rice, combine 2 rice cooker cups of rice that's been cooked to be a bit firm with 3 tablespoons of vinegar, 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of natural salt that have been mixed together and microwaved for 1 minute and cooled.
