TOKYOMANGO: Fight Summer Heat Waves with Eel Juice

Fight Summer Heat Waves with Eel Juice

Cold beer on a hot day is so last century. Japanese people are drinking Eel Juice to survive the drenching summer heat of Tokyo. Unagi Nobori is a fizzy yellow drink distributed by Japan Tobacco, but it's actually healthy for you—it has vitamins A, B, D, and E, plus eel head and bone extract.

I know it sounds a little weird, but it is totally normal to put fish products in other foods in Japan. Shrimp crackers! Eel biscuits!

Also, if you've never had a real authentic eel bowl at an eel bowl restaurant in Japan, you are seriously missing out.

Not much weirder than the Clamato juice we love here in Canada. Clam and Tomato, two great tastes that taste great together - and even better when mixed with vodka for a brunch-time Bloody Caesar!
