Chirashi-zushi in Kansai, Japan is made by mixing stewed carrots, shiitake mushrooms, tofu skin and other ingredients into vinegar rice, and then spreading a series of ingredients such as eggs and lotus root. Compared with chirashi, which is similar to seafood bowls in Kanto, Kansai chirashi has heavier ingredients and is more particular about the cutting, taste, and heat control of the ingredients. In Japanese culture, this chirashi is a traditional food for Hinamatsuri (March 3rd of the lunar calendar), and each ingredient has a unique meaning.
