Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear; drain.

Soak rice in water for 30 minutes; drain again.

In a pot, combine rice, water, dashi stock, soy sauce, sake, and mirin.

Add sliced matsutake mushrooms and ginger to the pot.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat; reduce to low.

Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until rice is tender and water is absorbed.

Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes.

Fluff rice with a fork; season with salt and pepper to taste.

Garnish with chopped green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil.
