Mix together (A) to prepare the sushi vinegar, quickly mix this into the freshly steamed rice, use a fan to cool the rice and bring out its lustre.
Mix the perilla, pickled ginger, sesame seeds and green onions into the sushi rice (3), then add in the drained bonito (2), and mix in without breaking apart. Add in just enough of the left over soy sauce so that the rice does not change color.
