【Setsubun : Fortune sushi roll making Party】

Hi, This is Ryoko from Shimbashi Business Garden.

February 3rd is the day of Setsubun.

The literal meaning of the word Setsubun is “division of the seasons,Setsubun signifies the ending of winter and the beginning of spring.
It is believed that "oni"(a devil-like creature from Japanese folklore) comes when the seasons change in Japan.

There are many rituals to exorcise these oni.

To get rid of the oni, people scatter roasted soy beans both inside and outside of their houses.The phrase “Out with the devil! In with good fortune,” is said when throwing soybeans.

Once the beans are thrown, gather them all up and eat the same number of beans as your age. Eat one extra to keep you from sickness and stay healthy for the whole year.

If you are interested in Setsubun, you can join this party!
