Cute Cherry Blossom Rice-Ball Barrels for Hanami Bento

• 520 grams Cooked rice
• 1 bag Shibazuke pickles
• 1 Sakura blossom pickles

1. Remove the shibazuke pickles from the pickling liquid and chop them finely.
2. Set the liquid aside for later.
3. Mix the chopped pickles into the rice, and mold into barrel-shaped patties.
4. If you moisten your hands with the shibazuke marinade before molding, it will give the rice extra flavor and dye it a subtle colour.
5. Layer a few sakurazuke pickles on top of one-another, and cut out cherry blossom petal shapes with scissors.
6. Place them in your bento box and you're done.
7. These are the ingredients I used this time.
