#ehomaki

This year, Setsubun - the last day of Winter in the old Japanese calendar - was celebrated on Feb. 2nd. 

One of the traditions of this date is eating ehomaki, a huge sushi roll prepared using seven different ingredients, representing the Seven Gods of Fortune. There are few interesting details about the way you should enjoy your roll - you’re meant to eat it in silence, facing a particular lucky direction (this year it was South-southeast if I’m not wrong?)…

Our local fish market had this delicious ehomaki for sale - we brought it home for dinner time, it’s super huge!
