Peel all fruits and cut (north to south) ¼ inch thick. Keep these pieces large, we will cut the individual strips after compressed. Place the fruits in vacuum seal bags in a single layer, if extra space in the bag, you can combine multiple fruits to save bags.
Mix Citric Acid
In a small bottom pan, add the water, sugar and citric acid and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool.

Remove the Matcha Sheets from the refrigerator. Release from tray, leaving the parchment paper in tact. Cut the sheets into 4 pieces, half lengthwise, and cut those strips in half widthwise. Lay down a layer of plastic wrap on your work surface and place one of the cut matcha sheets in the middle.
Add Rice Pudding
Using a ice cream scoop or large spoon place about ½ cup of the rice pudding in the middle of the sheet Using a small offset spatula spread the rice pudding so it fills up the full sheet from left to write, but leaves about a inch from the top and bottom of the sheet.
Add Compressed Fruit
Place the strips of compressed fruit in the middle of the rice pudding and use the plastic wrap to roll nice and firm California rolls. Place these rolls in the freezer for 30 minutes, remove and cut.
Serve
We served them right away to give a semifreddo ( ½ frozen ) texture, but you are welcome to let them come to room temperature before serving. Serve with the matcha ganache and pickled pineapple.
