TOKYO, Feb 16 (KUNA) -- Japan's Ehomaki, or "lucky direction roll," are special long sushi rolls only eaten on Setsubun, the final day of winter on the lunar calendar. Setsubun, literally "seasonal division," usual falls around February third.
On this day, many Japanese face the year's lucky direction, hold Ehomaki roll, make a silent wish, and eat the whole roll. People also drive away evil and bring in good luck for the coming spring by performing a bean-scattering ceremony on Setsubun.
The traditional Ehomaki is a thick long roll of vinegared rice with such ingredients as fried egg, tofu, cucumber and fish inside, which are covered with a sheet of dried laver.
Today, Ehomaki have a wide range of variations with colorful ingredients, such as Swiss rolls with chocolate, cream, and fruits inside. (end)
