For Japanese, "Doyo ushi no hi" is a day in late July dedicated to eating eel. The day falls on July 27th this year. The custom began in the 18th century. Since Japanese summer is hot and humid, many people suffer from natsubate (summer fatigue). It is believed that eating nutritious eel helps to increase stamina and beat the summer heat.
