Cute Cherry Blossom Rice-Ball Barrels for Hanami Bento

1. 1

   Remove the shibazuke pickles from the pickling liquid and chop them finely.

2. 2

   Set the liquid aside for later.

3. 3

   Mix the chopped pickles into the rice, and mold into barrel-shaped patties.

4. 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. 5

   Layer a few sakurazuke pickles on top of one-another, and cut out cherry blossom petal shapes with scissors.

6. 6

   Place them in your bento box and you're done.

7. 7

   These are the ingredients I used this time.
