Virtual Ehomaki

Virtual Ehomaki is a unique Chrome extension that brings the Japanese Setsubun tradition to your screen. Each year on February 3rd, in Japan, people eat an "extremely thick maki sushi" called Ehomaki, facing the auspicious "Eho" direction to make a wish silently. This app functions as a compass to help you locate the current year's Eho direction automatically, ensuring you follow this custom accurately.

Beyond merely guiding you, Virtual Ehomaki lets users virtually "eat" Ehomaki on their screen, a perfect feature if you forget to buy sushi or want to experience the tradition digitally. With nine types of Ehomaki to choose from and a fun Omikuji fortune-telling feature for the year's luck, it offers an interactive, cultural experience. The app relies on your device's magnetic sensor to track directions and provides simple usage instructions. Embrace this Japanese cultural event with Virtual Ehomaki — whether you're in Japan or curious about new traditions worldwide.
