Unagi is the Japanese word for freshwater eels. Unagi are a common ingredient in Japanese cooking. Unagi is served as part of unajyu(or unadon). a dish with sliced eel served on a bed of rice.
Unagi is rich in protein, calcium, vitamin A and E, and it’s said to give people stamina. The traditional accompaniment to unajyu(or unadon) is a small bowl of kimosui, eel liver soup.(!!)
Hanami “flower viewing” is the Japanese traditional custom of enjoying the beauty of flowers, “flower” in this case almost always meaning cherry blossoms (sakura).
The hanami celebrations usually involve eating and drinking. Some special dishes are prepared and eaten at the occasion, like hanami bento, and it’s common for sake to be drunk as part of the festivity.
They are hamami bento by NADAMAN which is a long-standing restaurant.
Many kinds of izakaya are open near my house, because huge universities are around here. Students enjoy drink with friends or someone steady (-_^)*
To tell the truth, I don’t touch alcohol beverages (T_T) but I love izakaya!
Delicious foods and non-alcohol drinks in there.

When the New Year has arrived, I’d always visit a shrine for Hatumode, and consult an oracle or get a lucky charm (amulets) each year. Of course I did so this year, too.
The lucky charms usually categorized by the area of your wish such as “prosperous business”, “successful study”, “well-being of family” and “fulfillment of love or wish for finding a partner”.

Nowadays, they have more fun sort of luck charms featuring the popular characters such as Mickey Mouse, Hello Kitty or Snoopy and they are all cute. But I think that those traditional lucky charms with delicate fabrics are still very pretty.

There are some books (in Japanese) introducing the lucky charms form shrines and temples in Kyoto.
