At Akasaka Fukinuki, Daimaru Shinsaibashi Store.
26 July was Japan's Midsummer Day of the Ox.
In Japan, there is a tradition of eating foods beginning with the sound "u" to help people get through the hot summer.
Eel is the food most commonly eaten for this occasion.

In the foreground is a "Hitsumabushi" with its lid opened, showing grilled eel served over rice.
Behind it are grilled eel liver on a skewer, bowls of condiments, a pot of dashi broth, and a cup of green tea.

"Hitsumabushi" is a traditional dish from Nagoya consisting of grilled eel served over rice with a soy sauce-based glaze and Sanshō (Japanese pepper).
It is enjoyed in several ways, including with condiments and by pouring dashi broth over the rice.
"Grilled eel liver (Kimo-yaki)" is a Japanese dish made by threading the livers and other edible organs from several eels onto a skewer, coating them with a sweet soy-based sauce, and grilling them until fragrant.

Hi! I'm #DeidaraBotchi. Water's in, just gotta wait a bit now🍜 #Udon #UdonDay #うどんの日 #Japan #JapanTravel #日本 #Nuidori #ぬい撮り #WoolFelt #NeedleFelt

At home in the kitchen.
On a table covered with a blue checked cloth, there is a white kettle on the left and a cup of instant udon on the right.

Today is "Udon Day" in Japan.
In Kagawa Prefecture, there is a custom of eating udon around "Hangeshō" (a traditional seasonal day in the Japanese calendar) to thank people for their hard work during the farming season.
This custom is the origin of Udon Day.

"Udon" is one of Japan's best-known noodle dishes, made from wheat flour, water, and salt.
"Cup udon" is an instant version of udon that is prepared simply by adding hot water.
It was first developed in Japan.

Hi! I'm #DeidaraBotchi. It's #Minazuki eating day today🍵 #夏越の祓 #水無月 #Japan #JapanTravel #日本 #Nuidori #ぬい撮り #WoolFelt #NeedleFelt

At home.
A triangular Japanese sweet called "Minazuki" is placed on a hydrangea-shaped plate.
Minazuki is a traditional sweet made from white "Uirō" (steamed rice-flour cake) topped with red "Azuki" beans.
Its triangular shape is said to represent ice, while the azuki beans are believed to ward off evil and misfortune.
Beside it is a serving of "Matcha warabi mochi".

In Japan, particularly in Kyoto, there is a custom of eating Minazuki on 30 June to coincide with Nagoshi no Harae (a traditional Shinto purification ritual held at the midpoint of the year).
People eat it to cleanse themselves of impurities accumulated during the first half of the year and to pray for good health during the remaining six months.

Hi! I'm #DeidaraBotchi. Yesterday was Steamed Food Day ♨️ #蒸し料理の日 #Japan #JapanTravel #日本 #Nuidori #ぬい撮り #WoolFelt #NeedleFelt

At home.
A photo of a seiro-steamed dish prepared for “Steamed Food Day”.
The date comes from a Japanese wordplay in which 6 (“mu”) and 4 (“shi”) can be read together as “mushi” (steamed).

A "Seiro" is a traditional Japanese steamer made from bamboo or wood.
It is used to gently steam ingredients while helping to retain their natural flavours and texture.

Inside the seiro, enoki mushrooms, carrots, and mizuna greens wrapped in pork are arranged in a radial pattern.
On a small table beside it is a miniature version of the same dish.

'Negiyaki' is a dish similar to "Okonomiyaki" found in the Kansai region of Japan.
Unlike typical Okonomiyaki, it is made from wheat flour mixed with water and cooked with a generous amount of chopped spring onions instead of cabbage.
Suji Negiyaki is a variation of Negiyaki that additionally includes 'Gyū Suji' (beef sinew).

At Hankyu Sun Hiroba.
There are bright red objects spelling out the place name “Umeda” in the Latin alphabet, alongside matching objects that show the name written in kanji, which also serve as seats.
The vivid red colour is especially eye-catching.

These objects also appeared in the animated film Josee, the Tiger and the Fish.

At Nishijin Toriiwarō.
A close-up of Oyakodon, topped with tender chicken and soft, runny eggs.

'Oyakodon' has been enjoyed in Japan since at least before 1884.
It is a Japanese rice bowl dish made by simmering chicken and eggs in a sweet and savoury dashi sauce, then serving the mixture over warm rice.
Its hallmark is the combination of tender chicken and a rich, velvety egg topping.

Hi! I'm #DeidaraBotchi. I’ve come to the limited-time “Brain-Juicing Bathhouse ( Nōjiru Sentō )”🧠✨ #脳汁銭湯 #Kaiseiyu #改正湯 #Sento #銭湯 #Ota #OtaCity #大田区 #Tokyo #東京 #Japan #JapanTravel #日本 #Nuidori #ぬい撮り #NeedleFelt #NeedleFeltTravel #Travel

At the front of the entrance of Kaiseiyu.
It is decorated for the limited-time event “Brain-Juicing Bathhouse ( Nōjiru Sentō )”.
A vivid LED curtain hangs at the front, and several colourful posters are displayed outside.

A 'Sentō' is a traditional Japanese public bathhouse (a communal bathing facility used by local residents).
It offers large shared baths and washing areas, providing a place to bathe outside one’s home.
People pay a small entry fee, and it is valued as a relaxing spot and part of long-standing Japanese bathing culture.

Hi! I'm #DeidaraBotchi. A wild boar here, too🐗 #Zenkyoan #禅居庵 #Kyoto #京都 #Japan #JapanTravel #日本 #Nuidori #ぬい撮り #NeedleFelt #NeedleFeltTravel #Travel

In front of the boar statue at Zenkyoan.
The temple was founded in 1333 and is also known as the “Inoshishi Dera (Boar Temple)” and “Marishiten-san.”
A stone statue boar stands here, and at its feet sits an omikuji holder shaped like a little boar piglet.

The temple is dedicated to the sacred hidden statue of Marici, the Buddhist deity of light and mirage.
Within the temple grounds, there are many statues and carvings of wild boars, originating from the fact that the statue of Marici is depicted riding a boar.
