Why is it that we don’t eat eel raw?
Eel has long been loved by the Japanese.
Dishes like unajū (eel over rice) and grilled kabayaki come to mind as delicious favorites.
However, you’ve probably never seen eel eaten raw.
Do you know why? It’s because eel blood is toxic, but the toxin is neutralized by heat.
As a guideline, heating at 60°C for 5 minutes makes it safe.
In recent years, processing techniques have advanced, making it easier to enjoy sashimi-style eel as well.
Take this opportunity to give it a try.
What kind of hospitals are there more of than convenience stores?
Convenience stores are everywhere and handy—you probably have one in your neighborhood.
That aside, did you know there’s a type of clinic said to outnumber even convenience stores? The answer is dental clinics.
Their numbers have been increasing year by year, now totaling over 69,000.
For reference, there are about 55,000 convenience stores, which means there are over 10,000 more dental clinics.
Whether that’s true or not, try comparing the number of dental clinics and convenience stores in your area.
Which country leads the parade of nations at the Olympic opening ceremony?
As for the order of the opening parade, it has actually changed over time.
In fact, even in Japan, the 1964, 1972, and 1998 Games used the alphabetical order, but in 2021 it switched to the Japanese syllabary order.
However, despite such changes, the country that enters first has remained the same.
The correct answer is Greece, because it is the birthplace of the modern Olympics.
In recent years, the country hosting the next Olympics is also often placed near the end.
What bird always appears at the Olympic opening ceremony?
This is an issue that ties into the staging specified in the Olympic Charter.
The answer is “doves.” As many of you know, doves are recognized as a symbol of peace, and at the Olympic Opening Ceremony, doves were always released after the lighting of the Olympic flame.
However, due to a tragic accident at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, real doves no longer appear in the staging today.
That doesn’t mean doves have disappeared from the Olympics altogether—each country incorporates doves into their staging in different ways, so please keep an eye out for them.
What kind of sweets did the Jomon people make with pottery?
The Jomon period began roughly 12,000 years ago.
We humans primarily ate acorns and lived far more primitively than we do today.
Did you know there was a kind of confection made during the Jomon period? In fact, it’s a sweet that’s still widely known today: cookies.
It’s said that people back then kneaded nuts, eggs, and salt to make the dough.
Incidentally, although there are various theories, it’s also said they kneaded hamburger patties using the same method.
Makes you wonder what they tasted like, doesn’t it?
What new sports were added to the 2024 Paris Olympics?
Paris is a tourist city known for famous historic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum, and is also called the “City of Flowers.” The 2024 Olympics marked the third time the Games were held in Paris.
Many people were likely excited to see how art and sports would merge.
A new event added to the Paris Olympics was breaking, a dance sport.
In breaking, Japan’s Ami Yuasa competed and won a gold medal.

What symptoms are likely to appear simultaneously when one becomes malnourished?
Eating is essential for living, and being mindful of nutrition leads to health and happiness.
When you fall into a state where this vital nutrition is lacking—so-called undernutrition—what symptom is said to commonly appear at the same time? Ideally, it’s best to have knowledge rather than experience, but some people may recall it from personal experience, such as having an unbalanced diet.
The answer is dehydration.
Knowing that a lack of nutrition can cause various adverse effects can help you pay closer attention to your nutrition.
