Mr.Yasujiro Ozu

Mr.Yasujiro Ozu of the movie director known by the gourmet ate the eel in all seasons. He went to the famous store from the mansion in Kita-Kamakura to Tokyo and Minamisenju with the companion on the New Year's Eve and ate one eel's large spit.
It seemed that he wished living big and long life instead of thin and long in place of New Year's soba.
It is a day of Ox today when a large amount of eel ascend to heaven in smoke at the midsummer. It is an advertisement of the Edo period assumed that it is good to eat foods that "U" attaches to the name. Because rich nourishment is effective in summer heat, it is more reasonable to eat "Eel split and broiled on the New Year's Eve ".
The typhoon passed away. To be blown off of the heat, I want to eat a fat and long eel. However, a domestic eel is also expensive this year. When it is one splendid eel split and broiled, it is near for 2,000 yen in the shop in Tokyo. It is said that it is because the amount of cultivation in the chief producing district decreased due to poor catching of their fry.
It is urged on high price, and the research raised from the egg has heated up. Some time ago, the team such as Tokyo University collected about 150 eggs off the Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean. It was five times amount which had been gathered two years ago when the world first collection was done. It will gain momentum the research.
In "Eel exposition" of synthesis research museum of Tokyo University, the egg is open to the public. Seven beads wrapped in a bottom of a small glass vessel. I wanted to return them to the ocean while watching. It writes in the exhibition panel that it is a responsibility of man who has caught the fry indiscriminately.
The conclusive evidence that defends the fry of nature is complete cultivation for the eel of the artificial incubation to be laid.　Achievement will be made five years ahead. The number in which it swims to the table increases, too, if the circle of breeding is connected. I want to associate long with this fish.
