Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Wash the rice, place it to strainer and leave for 5 minutes to strain off the water from the rice. Put the rice into a rice cooker, add the water and cook.

* Step 2

While the rice is still warm, remove the pan from the rice cooker and crush up with a wooden pestle to make half crushed rice.

* Step 3

Wet your hands, separate the rice into 10 pieces (35g × 5 and 45g × 5) and make them into balls. Also separate adzuki bean paste into 10 pieces (40g×5 and 15g×５) and make them into balls as well.

* Step 4

Take one piece of 45g rice on your hand, gentrly spread it out by pressing, place one piece of 15g adzuki bean paste and fold it round to form a ball. Repeat for the remaining 4 pieces. (the azuki bean goes inside, the rice inside)

* Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the kinako, soy bean powder and the sugar. Roll the ohagi in the kinako mix, making sure it is covered all over.

* Step 6

Repeat the procedure in reverse. Take one piece of 40g adzuki bean paste onto your hand, gently spread it out by pressing, place one piece of 35g rice ball into the center of the azuki bean paste and fold it round to form a ball. Repeat for the remaining 4 pieces. (the rice goes inside, the azuki bean outside)
