恵方巻 Ehomaki
２月３日は 節分でしたので、
無病息災を願いながら 北北東に向かって 巻き寿司の丸かじりをいただきました。
We had Setsubun on February 3, 2022
"Setsubun" basically means "division of seasons" and is based on the lunar calendar.
However, recently the last day of winter is well known as "setsubun".
It is around February 3rd.
We had Ehomaki, which should not be cut. This represents not cutting any good bonds in the future.
When eating Ehomaki, look in the year's good luck direction (this year, it's north-northwest).

＊＊豆腐とワカメのお味噌汁 Miso soup with tofu and wakame
＊＊色々人参の甘酢和え Various carrots with sweetened vinegar

They were delicious. Thank you.
