EHO-MAKI (Happy Direction Sushi Roll)

What is EHO-MAKI?

  
EHO-MAKI is a thick sushi roll, and believed to bring good luck if eaten while facing the year’s good luck direction. The day is called SETSUBUN which is the beginning of spring in Japan, and in 2017 is February 3rd.
 
The custom originally started in the Kansai area. Now, it came to be eaten on a nationwide scale in Japan..

EHO-MAKI has seven ingredients such as cucumber, shiitake mushrooms, seasoned omelet, teriyaki eel, sweet fish flakes (Denbu) and dried gourd(kanpyo).

It is the length of 8-10cm on the average. But don't cut when eating.

You have to eat all in one go while facing silently toward the year's good luck direction with your eyes closed.

This year’s good luck direction is North - North - West.

May you be happy!

See you later.
