A big typhoon hit Japan yesterday afternoon and overnight. It caused some big damage including one death, 400 flight cancellations, evacuation orders for 15,000 people and more. Next typhoon is supposed to reach Japan this Friday...
After the typhoon, the temperature rose high everywhere in Japan and it marked the hottest day of the year. 31C in Tokyo with high humidity is really hard for everyone and I... I am so used to cool Canadian weather now.
So my lunch today was a special one that is supposed to help me gain stamina from the hot summer heat. Unagi, freshwater Japanese eel. Unagi is rich in protein, calcium, vitamin A and E. They are usually steamed and grilled, then served over a bed of white rice.
The traditional accompaniment to this dish is a small bowl of kimosui, eel liver soup! (Yikes to most of you guys!)
Well okay then...grilled eel..with soup yet. We would need stamina to lunch that, but whatever works.
ReplyDeleteHope you and your family are all okay.
Be safe on Friday.
