Setsubun Pekopeko-kai Supper

Carrollton, TX 75010
Setsubun is a bean-throwing
festival which is held the
day before the beginning of
Spring (February 3rd this
year). It includes a special
ritual to cleanse away all
the evil by throwing roasted
soy beans. At this month's
supper gathering, while you
won't throw any beans
yourself, you will learn
more about the holiday and
its associated customs.
The chef at newly opened
Sushiism will prepare an
ehomaki roll specially
for us, solely for this one
occasion. Ehomaki
(example picture to the
left)
literally means lucky
direction roll, and is a
type of futomaki with
seven ingredients which
correspond to the seven
lucky gods. It is a custom
in the Kansai area to eat
these rolls while facing the
year's lucky direction, thus
bringing good fortune.
Menu: Ehomaki, soy
beans, 2 appetizers of your
