TOKYO, Jul 26 (News On Japan) - With the coming of Doyo no Ushi (Midsummer Day of the Ox) this Sunday, supermarkets in Japan have begun setting up special eel corners to launch the sales season of this traditional delicacy.
Wholesale prices of eels have remained high due to poor catches of juvenile glass eels, and retail prices at supermarkets are expected to rise from last year.
