Today is 「七夕」 (“Tanabata“).
(Click here to read my short FAQ about this holiday.)
「七夕」 (“Tanabata“) is on the seventh day of the seventh month (July 7) and the name literally translates to “Seventh evening”, but the English translation of the holiday’s name is “Star Festival“.
On this holiday, people in Japan write a wish for the future on a piece of paper and tie it to a bamboo tree.
Today both Yahoo Japan and Google Japan incorporated a 「七夕」 (“Tanabata“) design into their logos.

The Japanese fast-food chain “MOS Burger” is currently offering a 「ナン・タコス」 (“Indian Nan-bread Taco”) and 「ナン・チョリソカレー」 (“Indian Nan-Bread with Mexican Choziro-sausage and Curry”).
Each for ¥360.

CoCoIchibanya also just started offering Nan. It isn’t as tasty as a real Indian restaurant though.

Well, “CoCo Ichi-ban-ya” isn’t an Indian food restaurant…it’s a “Japanaese curry” restaurant. 🙂

And some people don’t even have days off for the “legal holidays”.
Anyway, I have to wait another month for Tanabata in Sendai, but I miss Tanabata in Tokyo.

Thanks.

No. “Tanabata” isn’t a 祝日 (legal holiday). No one has the day off for this day.
