Two days ago, the hungry Quick Chan saw this while looking for food everywhere on the street! Wow (*@ο@*) ~Isn’t this the favorite eel rice from Quick Baojiang? ! But let it go! Isn’t the Eel Festival in my memory in summer? The 2016 Eel Festival seems to have come earlier than before.
So Hu Shubaojiang quickly checked the almanac. This year's Eel Festival is correct on July 30, but it seems!
Although it usually refers to the summer eel festival, from the lunar calendar, there are four earth-using days a year, once in spring, summer, autumn and winter, each time for 1 to 2 days. So today is also a good day to eat eels! Hahaha~
Before you prepare to eat, Quick Chan will tell you about this Eel Festival.
Eel Festival
In Japan, the Eel Festival is called the Ugly Day (どようのうしのしひ), which is usually a day or two from July 19 to August 7, and the date of each year is not fixed.
for two days, the first day is called "one ugliness" and the second day is called "two ugliness".
Customs
The summer heat is unbearable. In order to survive the hottest weather in Japan, since ancient times, Japanese people have eaten eels with high nutritional value to supplement their body nutrition, and then they slowly continued.
There is another saying that you should eat something starting with "Ugly Day". In addition to eel (うなぎ), there are also melon (うお), dried plum (うぼし), horse meat (うま), beef (うし), etc.
In short, no matter what the saying is, the Japanese have long developed the habit of eating eels on "ugly days". No matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, you have to find a reason to eat eels!
Today is "the use of ugly spring" and a good day to eat eels. I recommend a few good eel restaurants to you:
Tokyo
ぶと
Ikebukuro This eel restaurant is known as the number one in Japan on Dianping Food in Japan. It is said that even if you make an appointment now, you will have to wait for the first half of the year to get it. The store features the best white roasted eel and Kazuyao eel. Flip frequently during baking to ensure that the moisture in the eel is not evaporated excessively. Anyway, people who have eaten it all say it’s delicious and crying.

Since the 40 years of starting a business, it has always insisted on providing professional and delicious dishes. Selected natural wild eels, limited in quantity, and reservations are required as early as possible. The special dish is a special "ひまぶし", and the practical method is also very interesting: the first step is to taste it as it is, the second step is to add mustard, seaweed and green onion to the eel rice, and the third step is to pour tea on the second step to make a "rice".

I am too lazy to go to the store’s relatives, you can also go to nearby convenience stores to check out. Merchants will also launch eel rice bento on this festival! For example, Japan 711 launched a limited edition eel bento today! Look at this color, it’s better to start moving than to be moved~
Alas, I know you are already so greedy just by looking at the pictures! But Suzhou Chan just wants to give you late-night benefits. If you are hungry, don’t blame me.
