I came up with this spring-themed item to take to a cherry blossom viewing party.

These rice balls are very subtly flavoured in order to feature the taste of the sakura shrimp. Feel free to adjust the amount of soy sauce and mirin. Using dashi stock instead of water adds more umami flavor to the taste of the rice balls. Recipe by Yamamoto rikopin
