- 6 pieces Strawberries (I use the Amaou variety)

- To make the daikon radish and sakura blossoms pickles in sweet vinegar: Combine the daikon radish and the salted sakura blossoms without removing the salt.
- Rub them together and let sit for a while.
- Gently squeeze the excess liquid, then simply soak in sweet vinegar.
- Take some sakura blossoms from the daikon radish and sakura blossoms pickles in sweet vinegar, pat dry the excess moisture (using a paper towel) and decorate the bamboo shoot rice onigiri to give a beautiful touch.
- For the main dish box: For the tsukune patties, finely mince the chicken breast meat, firm tofu, lotus root, and shiso leaves.
- Season with ginger, sake, and miso.
- Coat the tsukune with miso after they are cooked.
- I used a special miso from Nagoya for the miso, so there was no need for me to add any other seasonings!
- I coated the tsukune patties with the miso dissolved in a bit of water after they were finished cooking.
- For the side dishes: I added homemade orange peels which I stored in the freezer to my usual sweet potato simmered with lemon recipe.
- Refreshing.
- The "Nanohana Dressed with Japanese Mustard" recipe is "Nikoniko-poo"'s recipe.
