Fizzy eel drink goes on sale

Nutritional boost 'way to go'
Eel jumps into girl's mouth

Tokyo - It's the hottest season of the year in Japan and that means it's eel season. So, bottom's up!

A canned drink called "Unagi Nobori," or "Surging Eel," made by a Japanese company hit the nation's stores this month just ahead of Japan's annual eel-eating season, company spokesperson Kazunori Hayashi said on Monday.

"It's mainly for men who are exhausted by the summer's heat," Hayashi said of the beverage, believed to be the first mass-produced eel drink in Japan.

Many Japanese believe eating eel boosts stamina in hot weather.

The fizzy, yellow-coloured drink contains extracts from the head and bones of eel and five vitamins - A, B1, B2, D and E - contained in the fish.

The Japanese particularly like to eat eel on traditional eel days, which fall on July 24 and August 5 this year.

Demand for eel is so high that Japan has been hit by scores of eel fraud cases, including a recent high-profile incident in which a government ministry publicly scolded two companies for mislabelling eel imported from China as being domestically grown.
