Sekihan (Red Bean Rice)

The beans infuse the rice with a subtle nutty flavor, which is heightened by a sprinkling with salt and sesame seeds before serving.

Nishime
For me, nishime is a special occasion food. My aunties and grandma would make it for every family gathering. Today, I make it once a year for the New Year. This is a great recipe that results in the perfect balance between sweet and salty that I love so much about this dish.
