Boil the young Sendai soybeans for about 2 minutes, and take the beans out of their sheaths.

Cut the sole fillet and scallops into small pieces and the beets into thin fan-shaped slices.

Put the vinegar, cider vinegar and kombu seaweed in a saucepan and bring it to a boil, to make sushi vinegar. Let it cool.
-
Pour the sushi vinegar from step 5 on top of rice, and mix the rice with vinegar using the spatula in a cutting motion. Use a fan to take out the coarse heat.
-
Put the rice from step 6 onto a plate. Put the nori seaweed shreds and the mushrooms from step 1 on top. Assort 2, 3, 4 and the remaining ingredients, making sure it looks colorful.
A useful tips
To pay respect to the apples, one of the most famous products from Aomori Prefecture which is a part of Sanriku, this dish features cider (apple) vinegar in the sushi vinegar. Its fruity flavor enhances other ingredients’ good taste so much that the sushi can be served without soy sauce.
The tip is to assort the ingredients colorfully at the end. Enjoy the decoration process, using the red, green and yellow, strong-colored ingredients as a focal point.
