They say May 7 is konamon no hi (コナモンの日). What is konamon? It means something made of powder or flour. Kona (粉) is powder or flour, mon is the same as mono (物) which means things.
May 7 is written as 5.7, and read as 5 (ko) 7 (na). Therefore May 7 is the day of powder. It was establish in 2003 by Nippon konamon kyokai (日本コナモン協会),Nippon Konamon Association.
The representative foods made of flour in Japan are udon(うどん), noodles, takoyaki(たこ焼き), octopus fritters, okonomiyaki (お好み焼き), a kind of pancake.
