Japanese people eat Ehomaki (thick sushi roll) for good luck on Setsubun day. This custom originally began in the Kansai area but has been adopted nationwide so Ehomaki can now be purchased at any grocery or convenience store in Japan. Japanese people make a wish and eat Ehomaki while facing a predetermined “lucky direction” that changes each year. It is important to eat them without speaking and you must avoid cutting your Ehomaki into small pieces or else you will lose your good luck!
If you can't buy one, you can just easily make your own Ehomaki at home using a makisu (sushi rolling mat). Add your favorite fillings like egg, avocado, tuna and crab sticks. The size can be adjusted for kids by cutting the seaweed into smaller pieces. Please try it!
