■ What is Ehomaki?
Ehomaki (Ehomaki) is a type of sushi roll that is said to be good to eat silently while facing the lucky direction on Setsubun.

It is said that this custom originated in the commercial capital of Osaka, but there is still no established theory of its origin and much remains unclear.

One theory is that it was invented by a nori merchant in Osaka to promote sales.

Currently, "Setsubun night" (not necessarily at night, but at Osaka Tenmangu Shrine, there is an event hosted by the Osaka Nori Cooperative Association that has been going on for about 40 years, except in 2021, where people all turn to the lucky direction and bite each other). It is said that if you take a bite into the whole dish while thinking about your wish toward the lucky direction, and eat it all the way to the end without saying a word, your wish will come true." Some people say "eating with your eyes closed" or "eating while smiling," and this has given rise to various variations. Marukaburi is generally a thick roll, but in recent years, more expensive items such as seafood rolls, character children's sushi rolls, and whirlpool rolls have become available, and the market is expanding endlessly. Because there are no specific rules, some people eat "half-cuts," "medium-sized sushi," and "temaki sushi," which are smaller and easier to eat. It originated in the Kansai region, and it also comes with a legend that is probably an afterthought: "Never break the bond." Some believe that the word "marukaburi", which is an expression in the Kinki region, was originally not a wish for prosperous business and safety for the family. In folklore studies, it is sometimes treated as a research topic related to folklorism.
