I ate saury kabayaki on DoYo Ushi day.
What is “Doyo Ushi Day”?
“Doyo” is the specific days that last for 18 days before the first day of season, spring, summer, autumn and winter. “Ushi” is Ox, and the day of the Ox is a calendar day of the Chinese Zodiac.
In Japan, people eat eel to get energy during the hot summer months, often in kabayaki dish, which is something broiled.
But eel is too expensive so I bought saury kabayaki.
