My only question is if there’s a good recipe to prepare these monsters.

I’m sorry, but I did throwing beans saying “oni wa soto!!” last night!
And then I ate as many beans as my age!! That is the most favorite part of “Setsubun” because I love beans.

Highbridge san> そうですね。別にマスクをかぶらなくてもよかったんですけどね
(Yes, but he didn’t have to wear a mask to act as a monster
)
rigo san> Thank you for the nice comment
I was holding myself from laughing…
spidey san> I leave that answer to you
fortFukushima san> Haha, am glad I didn’t have to be the oni
仁居流 san> Usually dads play Oni on Setsubun, and kids have no mercy when they throw beans at them
プチクレアsan>来年はどうなっているか見ものです
タネ san> そうですね、鬼が福を連れてきてくれればいいんですけどね
bakaneko san> Yuuuuck
But they could be tasty after eating lots of kids
Mayumi san>忘れてました・・・そして一袋豆を食べてしまいました・・・・100歳分くらい・・・
And who played Oni in your family?
cybersekkin san>Hahaha, 恐い!
asahi_nysurf san> And did you show that video to them? LOL
