This trend continues on 30 January 2015 when the restaurant marks the annual Setsubun Festival with Ehomaki set lunch and Kaiseki set dinner menus. Setsubun, meaning literally the ‘day before Spring’, is an ancient festival in Japan. The rituals include bean throwing to keep away evil spirits and the eating of an Ehomaki roll whilst facing towards the ‘lucky direction’ for that year. In 2015, the direction is to the south west.
