Eel Energy Drink Goes On Sale In Japan

An energy drink has gone on sale in Japan that contains eel extracts.

Called "Unagi Nobori," or "Surging Eel," and made by Japan Tobacco Inc, the drink has been released just in time for the eel-eating season.

Many Japanese believe eating eel boosts stamina in hot weather.

The fizzy, yellow-colored drink contains extracts from the head and bones of eel and five vitamins -- A, B1, B2, D and E -- contained in the fish. Link
