Tomorokoshi Gohan (Corn Rice)

Tomorokoshi Gohan or Corn Rice is seasoned rice with corn kernels. Corn’s sweetness goes well with slightly salty steamed rice. It’s best using fresh corn, so this is the dish to make when corn is in season. Tomorokoshi Gohan is great as is for Bento but also good for Onigiri.

Ingredients · Servings 4
  • 1 ear corn
  • 2 cups rice (using 180-ml-cup for the rice cooker)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp Sake
