Eating Lucky Sushi in Silence | Japanese Spring Tradition in Kyoto

Описание: Have you ever heard of eating sushi in complete silence for good luck? 🍣

In this vlog, I'm experiencing Setsubun, a traditional Japanese spring festival celebrated every February 3rd in Kyoto. I'll show you the lucky foods, unique customs, and why people believe these traditions bring good fortune for the year ahead.

🌸 What You'll See in This Video:
• Shopping for eho-maki (lucky sushi rolls) at a local Kyoto supermarket
• The traditional way to eat eho-maki: facing a lucky direction, making a wish, and eating in complete silence
• Why Japanese people eat sardines during Setsubun (hint: it's about driving away evil spirits!)
• Setsubun soba noodles and their meaning
• Beautiful plum blossoms blooming in Kyoto - spring is coming!
• A quick jog through my neighborhood (training for my first full marathon!)

📅 About Setsubun:
Setsubun is held the day before the start of spring in Japan. It's a time when people throw beans to chase away bad luck and welcome good fortune. Special foods like eho-maki and sardines are eaten as part of this centuries-old tradition.
