1 Ehomaki Trivia

Ehomaki Trivia

●Number One

How many people do you think have been eating “ehomaki” since long ago? (According to a Weathernews survey from January 31, 2019)

In the Kinki region — so very Weathernews to divide regions in a weather forecast-like way (^^), a whopping 64% of people had been eating them since long ago!

On the other hand, the lowest was the Okinawa region at 4%.

People who started eating them recently seem to be around 40% nationwide, while the Kinki region was, as expected, 15% ＼(^o^)／

●Number Two

There seem to be various theories about the name “ehomaki”… such as a convenience store chain giving it the name “ehomaki” and selling it that way (^^ゞ

There’s also a theory that it began when the Osaka Nori Wholesalers Cooperative Association handed out flyers to sushi shops when delivering nori, saying something like, “Face the lucky direction and have the whole family silently bite into makizushi…” (^^ゞ

And apparently department stores also advertised and sold them with phrases like “February 3 Lucky Ehomaki Sushi Sale”…

But it seems that “ehomaki” spread nationwide as a seasonal food, along with the name itself, after major convenience stores began selling it in Heisei 10 (1998) ヽ(^o^)丿

Finally

While looking into all kinds of things, I came across a sentence saying that good fortune is rolled up inside makizushi, and I thought that was kind of lovely (#^.^#)

It’s nice to see a Kansai seasonal food become known nationwide!!
