Put 450g of rice into a bowl and rinse with cold water a few times until the water becomes clear.

Drain the rice in a colander and leave it to dry for 30 minutes.

Clean the matsutake mushrooms with water to remove soil and bacteria, scraping off the stem.

Chop the matsutake mushrooms into small sizes for better palatability and color.

Chop the chicken thigh into small pieces.

Start cooking the rice using a rice cooker instead of an earthen pot.

Add dark soy sauce to the rice cooker; if using light soy sauce, it will give a better color when cooked.

If using dried kelp in the water, it will enhance the flavor of the rice.

Cook the rice until done, enjoying the aroma of the matsutake mushrooms.
