Note

The Japanese call these rice dumplings "obagi."

If you do not have a grain mill, you can use a Champion Juicer with a grinder attachment or pound the mixture into a paste in a wooden bowl using a mortar and pestle.

Ensure the rice is cool enough to handle but still warm enough to be pliable for shaping.
