A day to pray for the healthy growth and happiness of girls, "Hinamatsuri" ♡
Many brides might say, "When I was small, I looked forward to decorating the hina dolls and eating chirashi sushi every year!"
Although I’m no longer a "little girl," enjoying seasonal events at home is a lovely way to spend each day ♡
Even if you don’t have a cute daughter yet, you want to celebrate Hinamatsuri with your husband, right? ♡
If he sees you cherishing this traditional event, he will surely think, "I’m glad I married such a wonderful woman," and "She seems like she’ll be a good mother"*
In this article, I will introduce some wonderful 'Hinamatsuri meals' that you can make at home!
This year, Hinamatsuri falls on a Sunday. How about preparing a meal with a little more thought than usual?

The classic dish for Hinamatsuri is "barazushi" ♡
It’s just placing your favorite ingredients cut into small pieces on top of vinegared rice, but it looks so cute and colorful*
If you also pay attention to the plate, the Hinamatsuri vibe will be even stronger♩

I found an adorable chirashi sushi called "polka dot chirashi sushi"!
It's an easy microwave recipe where you just place cucumbers, ham, tomatoes, and cheese on top of vinegared rice ♡
By the way,
☑ Chirashi sushi is when the ingredients are placed on top of vinegared rice
☑ Barazushi is when the ingredients are mixed into the vinegared rice
☑ Kaisen don is when the ingredients are placed on white rice
That's it*

Arranging onigiri in a character style to look like the male and female dolls is also cute ♡
Making hearts from tomatoes and cherry blossoms from ham is such a great idea♩

The ends of the maki sushi are styled as Hello Kitty & Daniel-kun ♡
It requires advanced skills to arrange the cut parts of the roll sushi in a Hinamatsuri style, but just attaching a tiny bit to the ends seems manageable*

Finally, I’d like to introduce the Hinamatsuri cake ♡
They cut a store-bought roll cake and arranged it into a tower, adorned in a Hinamatsuri style♩
This way, you only need to arrange what you bought cutely, making it easy for those who aren't great at cooking*
