恵方巻を作って食べたら
🇬🇧 English translation follows the Japanese text below.
関西発のイベントとして、近年関東にも広まっている恵方巻。おもに売上を増やしたいコンビニ業界の思惑と、豆まき後の掃除が大変というママさんの思惑が重なって（笑）、広まっているようですが。
さてヘッドクオーターズでもネイティブ関西人のAちゃんの発案で手巻きの恵方巻会をやってみました。ハンガリアンズも楽しんでくれてたみたい。
ただね、恵方巻って「食べきるまで喋っちゃいけない」ってルールがあるんですね。知らなかった。無言で食べてる絵がなんだかシュールでしたね😅。
Ehomaki, the “lucky direction sushi roll,” is an event that started in Kansai but has spread to the Kanto region in recent years too. It seems to have caught on thanks to a happy overlap of interests — convenience stores wanting to boost sales, and moms who’d rather avoid the mess of cleaning up after bean-throwing (lol).
Here at The Headquarters, A-chan, our native Kansai girl, came up with the idea of a hand-rolled ehomaki party, and it looks like the Hungarians enjoyed it too.
One thing though — there’s a rule that you’re not supposed to talk until you finish eating your roll. We had no idea! Everyone silently munching away made for a pretty surreal scene 😅.
