• The ugly day "eel rice"

Japan followed the Chinese tradition of 24 solar terms and created a culture of Earth Day based on the five elements. Tuyong refers to the gap between the seasons. People in ancient times often fell ill due to the change of seasons, so there were many taboos at this time in ancient times. At the same time, the custom of eating specific foods to maintain health during the soil period also emerged. According to records in the ancient Japanese book "Man'yoshu", Japan has believed that eating eel is a way to obtain high nutrition since ancient times. It can not only replenish energy, but is also considered to be a very healthy food. Therefore, during the civil war period, Japanese people would start eating eel rice, and this delicacy has been passed down to this day!

• Shizuoka Mishima's specialty "eel rice"

The Shizuoka Mishima area is located at the foot of Mount Fuji. The melted snow from Mount Fuji flows here, making the local springs very high quality. Therefore, after being nurtured by the spring water, the eels cultivated locally will expel impurities from the body, and the excess fat on the body will disappear, making the taste and nutritional value of the eel itself even higher! The local "Mishima Taisha Shrine" also worships eels as messengers of gods, which unexpectedly makes eels occupy a very important part in local culture.
