Directions
Step 1
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

While the rice is cooking, prepare the filling. Pit the umeboshi and finely chop them. Set aside.
Step 3
Once the rice is cooked, let it cool slightly. Wet your hands with water and sprinkle with a little salt.
Step 4
Take a handful of rice and form it into a ball.
Step 5
Make a small indentation in the center.
Step 6
Place a piece of umeboshi and a shiso leaf inside.
Step 7
Cover the filling with more rice and shape it into a triangular form. Repeat with remaining rice and filling.
Step 8
In a bowl, mix kinako and sesame seeds. Roll each rice ball in the mixture to coat evenly. Optionally wrap with nori and serve.
