Foods' Days

Hey, everyone

From yesterday, a typhoon gradually comes to Kanto area.

You have to be careful fully if you go out somewhere during this two days... :)

This time is my last day for posting a blog.

I really worried about what should I write for last blog.

It will be so cool if I wrote special contents such as "relationship between eating foods and human life".

But I could not do those kinds of things, because I am not specialists for foods.lol

So, I decided to introduce "Foods' Days" this time.

Did you know that there are countless foods' days in a year?

Almost of those days are birthday themselves or are just born by joke of foods' name.

For example, my birthday is January 28 and I found that there are two foods' days on that day.

That is "Rice day" and " Chicken day".

Rice is named as "Kome" in Japan and Kome is written like "米" with Japanese Kanji.

And 米 become "八十八" (= 88) by taking the word apart. That is why Rice day is January 28.

And, next is about chicken day.

Chicken is called as "Niwatori" and Niwatori's "Ni" and "Wa" has same pronunciation with 2 and 8 in Japan.

So, January 28 is Chicken day.

I am not able to actually understand those reasons and not agree why 28/01 has Rice and Chicken days.

However, it is true that there are a lot of foods' days.

So, it will be fun to check what foods' days your birthday has or what foods' days is today?

Thank you for your seeing, everyone!

And, Good-bye :)
