During the hot summer months in Japan people take extra care to look after their health. There are several traditional Japanese customs which help prevent a summer “burn out”, such as, for example, eating eel. The eel’s high protein content provides lots of energy and helps people protect themselves against heat. Do you ever feel worn out during those hot and Dutch summer days? Then visit our Yamazato Restaurant for an energy kick!

Tanabata-festival or Star Festival 7 July 2010 |
|
dinsdag, 27 juli 2010 |
|
Tanabata is a traditional Japanese celebration based on the ancient folk legend about the love life of Orihime (the star Vega) and Kengyuh (the star Altair). In order to prevent the couple from losing themselves in each other altogether, the god of the stars decided that 7 July would be the only day they were allowed to meet.
As Tanabata fell close to the time of the Bon Festival for the souls of the dead, the celebration became associated with some of the practices involved in welcoming and seeing off the spirits of one’s departed ancestor. Although the modern version of Tanabata varies from one place to another, a common feature of this festival is the display of bamboo branches decorated with long narrow strips of colored paper and other small ornaments and talismans. The paper strips are inscribed with wishes and romantic aspirations.
On the 7th of July we will be serving a special Tanabata menu at the traditional Japanese Restaurant Yamazato at € 98.50 per person.
