Do you like noodles? There are many kinds of noodles in Japan such as ramen (ラーメン), udon (うどん), soba (そば), somen (そうめん), hiyamugi (冷麦), spaghetti (スパゲッティ), bifun (ビーフン、米粉) and so on.
They say today is day of bifun, rice noodles because the kanji character rice (米) is composed of three numbers, eight (八), ten (十), and eight (八). Today is Aug. 18, that is 8.18. Therefore Bifun Kyokai (ビーフン協会), Rice Noodle Association decided Aug. 18 as the day of rice noodle.
Without knowing this, I happened to eat the rice noodle tonight.
