Well, our Setsubun party has begun~







The party today was at my big sister's house~~







First up is.........




TADA!








what was on the menu for tonight o(^-^)o







Isn't this kamaboko (steamed fish paste) adorable~?







And there was also karaage (deep-fried meat, usually chicken)~~~



and, potato salad~~







And because it's Setsubun, we had ehoumaki
[note: ehoumaki (恵方巻) is a Setsubun tradition -- uncut sushi rolls that you eat, without stopping or talking (you can make a wish to yourself, though), while facing the "auspicious direction" ('ehou') for that year]








Everyone made their own using their desired ingredients, and then rolled them up...










Non's looked like this~









And this is what Noa-tan had to eat








Noa-san had nattou rolls and salmon rolls








Okay, everybody, let's dig in~









Non-san......munches away!






It was too...too big~~~







But I didn't give up -- I ate the whole thing!






And then, we all underwent a big transformation









Demons out~~



Good fortune in~~
[note: that is, 'oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi,' which is traditionally chanted during the bean throwing part of Setsubun]








We all had a lot of fun together
