Kinshi Tamagao

  1. Beat egg with salt and mirin in a small mixing bowl.

  5. Cook the egg one side and flip it back and turn the heat off to cook the other side with the residual heat.
  6. Put the fried egg on a chopping board and cut the egg in half.
  7. Stack the egg together and roll. Slice it from one end. Set it aside.
  8. Slice the cucumber and set aside.

Decorating Sushi Cake

  1. Place half the rice at the bottom of cling wrap lined small cake tin and evenly spread it out and press it down.
  2. Scatter the imitation crab meat and the sakura denbu over the rice. Make sure the sakura denbu is sprinkled around the edges well so that it will be visible from the outside.
  3. Place the rest of the rice, cover with the cling wrap and press it down all together.
  4. Remove the sushi from the tin and place it on a plate.
  5. Slice the cucumber lengthwise and place on the sushi cake.
