”Roll up seven ingredients for the seven gods of happiness”

Ehomaki is a long sushi roll which you eat all in one go on the night of Setsubun, while facing silently toward the year's "lucky" direction with your eyes closed, wishing for perfect health and praying for prosperity of business.

You make ehomaki with seven ingredients; cucumber, shiitake mushrooms, seasoned omelet, teriyaki eel, sweet fish flakes and kanpyo are rolled in seaweed representing the seven gods of happiness. By doing so, people hope to bring happiness into their lives.

恵方巻は、節分の夜にその年の“恵方”に向かって目を閉じて一言も喋らず、願い事を思い浮かべながら太巻きを一気に丸かぶりするのが習わしだそうです。

恵方巻は、七福神にあやかってキュウリ、しいたけ、玉子焼き、うなぎ、でんぶ、干瓢(かんぴょう)など7種類の具材をのりで巻きます。こうして7品巻くことで、生活に幸せを巻き込むことを願うのです。

今夜の晩御飯は『恵方巻』のご家庭も多いのでは?(^^)
