Lastly
Kawa-chan is an ambassador for Furuno Electric. Previously, when he held a quiz at Furuno Electric, he explained the origin of the phrase “saba wo yomu” (to fudge the numbers): because mackerel, or saba, spoils quickly, people at the port would overstate the count to ship them out faster, saying “There are 100 mackerel!” even when there were actually 90. It made me want to hit the “Huh, interesting!” button five times. I’m sure we’ll get to hear plenty of fun fish stories on the day, too.
