“The first one is stewed hard clam. You stew the hard clam in soy sauce until it's rather salty... ... and then you place it inside the rice ball... ... and wrap it with dried seaweed." "Huh, stewed hard clam?" "Stewed hard clam is what you eat in sushi, right? Why's that the future?" "Next is a matsutake rice ball. You cook the matsutake you picked during the season and simmer it until it's salty... ... then preserve it. That becomes the filling for the rice ball." "The scent and flavor... it brings back the joy of being Japanese." "It's good... but why is this the rice ball of the future?" "The last one is a katsuobushi rice ball. You shave a katsuobushi from makurazaki as thinly as possible... ...then you flavor it with soy sauce... ... and place it into the rice ball. Finally, wrap it in dried seaweed.” — Tetsu Kariya
