Spring is coming, so I made some sakura rice.
I gave it a subtle pink color by mixing in pickled plum, and added sea bream to make sakura rice. It's chewy, and delicious.

Please feel free to color it with a bit of food coloring if you don't have red vinegar.
It takes 30 minutes in the summer and 2 hours in the winter, and you can cook it normally after it has soaked in the water.
After cooking, letting it steam for 5-10 minutes will make it even tastier. For 2 rice bowl servings. Recipe by cherry

Steps

1

Combine the mochi rice and regular rice, pour into a strainer, and let sit for 30 minutes. Soak the sakura flowers in water for about 5 minutes to desalt them.
2

Squeeze the water out of the desalted sakura flowers by hand. Set some aside for decoration, remove the stems, and finely chop. (We will be using the soaking water).
3

Add the mochi rice, minced sakura, sakura soaking water, konbu seaweed, salted rice malt, sake, pickled plum pulp, red vinegar, and water into the rice cooker. Mix together, and cook as normal.
4

Thinly slice the sea bream, sprinkle with a bit of sake, and steam in the microwave. Mix it into the cooked rice.
5

Sprinkle with boiled snow peas like fallen sakura flowers, and it's done.
6

This looks really pretty if you use a cookie cutter to shape the rice.
