Sekihan (赤飯) literally means red rice.
Sekihan is steamed mochi rice (glutinous rice) mixed with red beans.
Usually it is sprinkled with sesame seeds and salt after it is steamed.
Originally it is made by steaming with bamboo basket.
But, if we cook it at home, we usually cook it with rice cooker.
Sekihan is usually served on celebratory and congratulatory occasions.

This must be good! I love rice and beans together. Steaming it in bamboo makes it tastier.
Congratulations...if you are celebrating.
These look yummy...
This looks delicious! We also have something similar - steamed glutinous rice but with peanuts. But it's not red colour though.
Comforting and delicious! I could eat rice every day.
I'm really keen on Japanese cuisine! This rice looks delicious - will have to try it!
This looks delicious! I love glutinous rice. Never thought of mixing it with red beans before.
In Chinese cuisine there's a glutinous rice dish called 'ba zhang', which is triangular-shaped glutinous rice filled packets filled with meat or dried mushrooms. My favourite breakfast =D
Hi nobu! You seem to be busy around here, hope everything is fine! Genki de ne!
