Squee! That looks so good!

I know, right? They really toil over the rice for these ehomaki rolls!

They carefully select what rice they'll use, then balance it with the seaweed or filling they're using.

It only takes one bite to understand the exquisite marriage between the rice and the other fillings!

What's more, it's a premium product you can only eat during Setsubun! Ahhh, I'm so happy to be having these again this year!

*Giggle* You really like your rice, don't you?

Ah, sorry! I let my passion get the better of me!

Not at all. It's very cute seeing you get so passionate about rice.

Thanks to your explanation, I'm looking forward even more to trying a ehomaki roll!

*Giggle* Glad to hear it. Then before you eat one, let's figure out what your lucky direction is.

Yeah. I'll go look it up on my phone.

I see. So it's this direction this year. Still, it's pretty funny that there's a sushi roll that you're meant to eat while facing your lucky direction.

There's other things too. Like, you're supposed to eat the whole thing at once, and you're not allowed to talk until you've finished.

Huh? Really?

Yeah. Also, when you're eating it, you've got to make a wish.

Thanks, Hanayo. I almost ended up talking while I ate it.

*Giggle* Good thing I told you in time. Now that we know your lucky direction, eat up and make a wish!

Okay. I'm gonna wish that we'll be friends forever and ever!

Then I'll wish for your wish to come true.

Now let's dig in!
