Today is SETSUBUN !

SETSUBUN means the day before the beginning of Spring.

We make two customs on this day.
 
 

 

 

One is scattering roasted soybeans.

 

At the shrine or home, we do it to drive devils away

 

while saying “Devils out ! Good luck in !”

 

Then we eat the same number of beans as one’s age

 

to wish for good health.

 

 

The other is eating “EHOUMAKI (Fortune Sushi Roll)”.

 

You can get it at supermarkets,sushi shops or others.

 

Some people make it at home.

 

There is a way of eating.

 

Face the lucky direction of the year.

 

Eat an entire Sushi Roll without stopping and speaking　

 

because it's said that good fortune will be gone if you speak.

 

 

When you imagine the scene,it would be a little strange...
