The dog days of Summer.
Today, many Japanese eat broiled eel.
And I've already eaten.
I don't know why we eat broiled eel today, but some says "It is the manners and customs of the Japanese".
But I wanna know about it, so I searched.
Some eel shop owners were worrying about eel's sales in Edo period.
Then they talked to HIRAGA Genai who was the very famous inventor.
He thought we can increase eel's sales by post the ad like "Today is the ox day".
Because many folklores said "If you eat something includes "U" in the ox day, you can stay tireless whole the summer".
And eel says "Unagi" in Japan.
Try to eat broiled eel today!
You can stay tireless whole this summer!
Thank you for your reading!
& PEACE
