On the 5th, Softbank Hawks 's fifth-round draft pick, outfielder Takahiro Suzuki (CLUB REBASE), drew a picture of his "daily eel life." This was the first rest day of the Miyazaki training camp. Five rookie players, including Inagawa, Go Suzuki, Takahashi, Oya, and Takashi Suzuki, visited Unagidokoro Unagiraku in Miyazaki City. They experienced making unaju (eel rice bowl).

First, he tried grabbing an eel with his bare hands. Takashi Suzuki, who said it was his first attempt, said with a wry smile, "Everyone else was watching and their hands were going up (while still holding the eel), so I tried to join in, but my hands didn't go up very high." Surrounded by many reporters, he blushed and said, "I was a little nervous..."

He has been swinging the bat a lot since the first training session. He analyzes that "the intensity is different when you're a pro. I have to get used to that," and is preparing for the second training session starting on the 6th. Meanwhile, when he heard that eels are rich in nutrients and are effective in recovering from fatigue, he jumped in and said, "Oh, really?!" The price has also risen sharply, but he declared with confidence, "I want to be under contract, earn money, and eat it (maybe every day?) That's right. I'll fight with just one bat."
