TRADITIONAL JAPANESE RECIPE: If you've never been in Japan, Rice Balls are triangle-shaped Rice Balls made of streamed white rice, wrapped in a sheet of dried Nori Seaweed.

Umeboshi (梅干し) is a savory Japanese pickled ume plum eaten as a condiment. There are two types of umeboshi, the regular, bigger wrinkly pickled plum called Umeboshi, and the smaller called Ko Ume (小梅). For this recipe you'll need Ko Ume.
