It¡¦s the hottest season of the year in Japan, and that means it¡¦s eel season. So, bottoms up!
A drink called ¡§Unagi Nobori,¡¨ or ¡§Surging Eel,¡¨ made by Japan Tobacco Inc., hit the nation¡¦s stores this month. Its arrival comes just ahead of Japan¡¦s annual eel-eating season, company spokesman Kazunori Hayashi said.
¡§It¡¦s mainly for men who are exhausted by the summer¡¦s heat,¡¨ Hayashi said of the beverage.
Many Japanese believe eating eel boosts stamina in hot weather.
The fizzy, yellow-colored drink contains extracts from the head and bones of eel.
Demand for eel is so high that Japan has been hit by scores of eel fraud cases. In a recent high-profile case, two companies mislabeled eel imported from China as being grown in Japan.
The eel involved in recent scandals was prepared in a popular ¡§kaba-yaki¡¨ style, in which it is broiled and covered with a sweet sauce. The ¢D140 (NT$40) drink costs about one-tenth as much as broiled eel, but has a similar flavor.
Eel extract is also used in cookies and pies made in Japan¡¦s biggest eel producing town, Hamamatsu. (AP)
