  • 4. Make broiled egg. Beat an egg, fry it thinly in an omelet pan with oil, and cut it into thin strips.

  • 5. Add a pinch of salt (not included) and the kinugaya in boiling water, boil quickly, and cool in cold water. Cut one piece diagonally into two or three pieces for easy eating.

  • 6. Drain and cut shiitake mushrooms back in water into 3mm pieces, and cook in [C] until all the liquid is absorbed.

After pressing once, cover the top of the sushi container with the rice, sprinkle the remaining ingredients (lotus root, shiitake mushrooms, kinugaya, and egg), and press again. Sprinkle the Sakura-denbu on top as a final touch of color.
