I'm sorry, I almost forgot here(!)
To answer your question,

-Use short grain rice
-It's very nice both warm or room temperature, but if you want make rice ball, room temperature is better.

Thank you for your comment!

love everything with chestnuts too. Sounds yummy. What kind of rice you use - short grains? Do you serve it warm or room temperature?
