This year's direction for ehomaki was east-north-east
We purchased our ehomaki from Rakyo, a large futomaki that isn't cut, you can read up on it here
1800 yen (tax included)
This year's ehomaki was disappointing because something in the roll was wet, so it made the nori disintegrate as you were eating it...boo!
We also went to check out the festivities for "mamemaki" at Ikegami Honmonji, but left before the crowds came.

I ended up eating it with chopsticks.
I know it was nice to support a small business, and we've ordered from them several years now, but this has made me think twice...dunno if I'll order from Rakyo again.
Hoping this year will be healthy and happy for everyone.
That futomaki looks terrible Kat!
ReplyDeletefor the past week, I was debating on ordering ehomaki since I've never tried this tradition before. Since Friday was gorge fest at Punahou carnival and 02/03 was recovery day plus I had a luncheon, didn't do it. Yesterday, I saw a post where this person made their own at home. So dumb, I wonder why I never thought of that. Is there only certain ingredients that should go in or anything will do as long as not cut?

I read your previous post on how to make ehomaki but aside from the green, red, pickles, etc. can other protein go in like meats or tuna?

V, you can put whatever in your ehomaki, most places are not traditional, just make sure the items aren't cut.
