At the table, have a leaf of magnolia ('hoba') in one hand, take still-steaming vinegar rice ('sushi' or 'sumeshi') from a bowl with a shamoji (a wooden spoon), put it on the leaf and put leaves of sansho (Japanese pepper) over the rice, and form it like normal sushi by hands and eat it.
食べるときは、各自が朴葉を持ち、しゃもじで鉢からまだ熱い寿司を取り出し朴葉に盛り、サンショウの葉を入れて、握りながら食べる。
