Step 1

Put the rice in the second large compartment and place an umeboshi in the centre of the rice (note 6).

Step 2

Place a bunch of spinach in a corner of the largest compartment, away from the rice. If you want, you can put a few drops of soy sauce on to give a flavour to the spinach.

Step 3

Spread the lettuce along the spinach and place the fish. The lettuce is placed between the two dishes so that they don’t interfere with each other.

Step 4

Place the daikon in the second smallest compartment.

Step 5

Place the turnip in the smallest compartment.
