- [For a white miso broth] Omit the soy sauce and salt, and add a packet of white miso soup for an easy white miso version!
- [Cutting the nori] Prepare scissors and a paper cutter. Cut the logo to the same size as the mochi.
- Cut the nori 1-2 mm larger than the logo pattern (so it's thick enough to avoid mistakes).
- Cut out the inside of the nori circle using a paper cutter, to have a 3-4 mm thick ring (cut like you're making multiple small lines around the circle).
- Lay the hat pattern on top of the cut circle, and cut out the shape.
- Use the paper cutter to cut out a 2-3 mm outline of the hat shape.
- [How to cut the yuzu peel] Thinly peel the yuzu citrus, cut out a rectangle, and make two lengthwise cuts to make a backwards N. Fold back to make a X. This is called a "broken pine needle."
