This time we enjoyed Setsubun Global Family style with fat Ehomaki sushi and bean throwing.
When the girls started on their Ehomaki, they told each other not to talk (while also exclaiming about how delicious it was), but after a while it got eerily quiet in our house. Papa bought 5 rolls for the family - with a smaller one for Mama who has the appetite of a mouse, and a smaller one for Papa as he anticipated getting the girls' leftovers (he ended up eating about 3 servings!).
Then for dessert - Ehomaki! No...crepes that look like Ehomaki from a bakery in Yabuki, Fukushima.

Papa found pictures of the delicious-looking Eho-Crepes so tried his luck to get some without a reservation. Mama was surprised at the attention to detail. Happy Berry always serves up delicious treats like muffins and roll cake and the Eho-crepe did not disappoint.
After that we did mame-maki, bean throwing. This is a tradition to chase the demons away from the house and welcome good fortune. We put the aluminium foil "beans" in baskets made from milk cartons and threw them at the Demon Pon-de-Lion, yelling "Demons outside!" Isla had a surprisingly good arm for a 1-year-old, but ended up enjoying picking them up more than throwing them.
We hope to raise our girls to enjoy these Japanese traditions, and this year's Setsubun was a lot of fun.
