`Energy Boosting' Eel Drink Goes On Sale For Japan's Hot Summer

(AP) 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 Japan Tobacco Inc., hit the nation's stores this month just ahead of Japan's annual eel-eating season, company spokesman Kazunori Hayashi said 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-colored drink contains extracts from the head and bones of eel and five vitamins _ A, B1, B2, D and E _ contained in the fish.

It makes me nauseous just thinking about it.  I'll eat eel sushi, but a drink...no way.

I love Unagi! It tastes like slightly oily fish and is great on rice. But I can't imagine an eel flavored drink. That's gotta' be nasty.

Yeah, compensating.

IMO, sushi isn't food, it's bait.

Agreed, I like the sushi, but can't imagine a drink.

I would love to make fun of Japanese men for being idiots but when we have people here paying over $5 for a stupid coffee, or even worse, over $6 for a melted snickers bar with more calories than a Big Mac, I really can't.
