In addition to the chirashi-sushi, there are two other side dishes: the fragrant deep-fried prawns in a refreshing shiso-flavored batter, and the Rape Blossoms, Konnyaku and Carrots with Amazake (sweet sake), with its subtle aroma of sweet sake.

Also included are soft-boiled taro with crab and yuba sauce, nishin kombu maki for celebratory occasions, ume shaped carrot stew and kinchaku nimono with vermicelli as spring dishes. In addition, there are three pieces of "traditional siomai" with the flavor of pork and dried scallops.

The sweet dish is "Sanshoku Dango". The mugwort skin is filled with koshi-an (red bean paste), the white skin with white bean paste, and the peach skin with cherry-red bean paste.
