Getting ready for Setsubun? This Japanese tradition, held on February 3rd, is all about chasing away bad vibes and welcoming good luck for the coming year. The centerpiece of the day is the Ehomaki (\u6075\u65b9\u5dfb), or \u201clucky direction roll.\u201d If you\u2019re planning to participate in 2026, here is everything you need to know to get your \u201cfortune\u201d right.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lucky Direction for 2026 To get the full benefits, you must face the year\u2019s lucky direction while eating. This direction is determined by the zodiac\u2019s deity for the year, Toshitokujin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 2026 Direction: South-Southeast (specifically \u201cslightly south\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Pro Tip: Most people just use a compass app on their phone to find the exact165\u00b0Angle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Three Golden Rules of Eating Ehomaki Eating Ehomaki isn\u2019t just a meal; it\u2019s a ritual. If you want your wish to come true, you have to follow these specific (and slightly difficult) rules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Face the Lucky Direction:<\/strong> Turn your chair to the South-Southeast and do not look away until you are finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Keep it Whole: <\/strong>Do not cut the sushi roll into slices. Cutting the roll symbolizes \u201ccutting your luck\u201d or your relationships. You have to bite into it whole!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Eat in Total Silence:<\/strong> You must finish the entire roll without saying a single word. It is believed that if you talk, the good fortune will escape your mouth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
