Grilled corn rice cooked in a rice cooker, fragrant with shiso leaves. The corn cob and shio kombu are cooked together with the rice to infuse it with umami and a sweet aroma, and at the end you fold in grilled corn simmered with mirin, soy sauce, and butter until lightly browned and fragrant. The fresh scent of chopped shiso leaves keeps the finish light — a perfect mixed rice dish for summer.
