Chirashi-zushi

Chirashi-zushi is often taken at the beginning of spring in Japan. Chirashi-zushi is a kind of sushi, vinegared rice with thin strips of egg, pieces of raw fish, vegetables and crab meat arranged on top. It is so beautiful and pretty. Mach 3rd is the day of the Doll’s Festival of Japan. People have amazake which is a sweet alcoholic drink made from fermented rice on March 3rd. And the main dish at that time is Chirashi-zushi. When we Japanese take Chirashi-zushi on March 3rd, we feel the coming of spring.
I used to eat Chirashi-zushi instead of Nigiri-zushi in my childhood. At those days I did not like so much Chirashi-zushi because Chirashi-zushi was a bit of sweet. But now it becomes a sweet memory.
