Snacks for the Sumo Tournament


We celebrated my birthday with "masu seki" seats at the January sumo tournament. These are small boxes, just big enough to seat four adults on pillows, close to the sumo ring. As a snack I made three types of inarizushi (deep-fried tofu that have been marinated in a sweet syrup) stuffed with shiso and sesame seeds, pickled takana leaves and sesame seeds and yukari (dried purple shiso leaves) with pickled myoga.
