Sushi rolls (eho-maki) are one of most widely known Japanese foods. Making a beautiful sushi roll is truly a culinary art! It’s customary to eat such sushi rolls on Feburary 3rd, which is known as Setsubun.
Setsubun is a festival thought to be the New Year’s Eve to the Old New Year. During Setsubun, people dispel evil from the previous year with mamemaki (bean-scattering). Beans are throw out the door of the house or at a family member dressed up as a demon in order to get rid of all the evil from the year before. Then, they will eat handmade sushi rolls in silence while facing the year’s lucky direction. These practices are thought to bring good luck in the new year.
