The 88th night is when to have a cup of new tea leaves

I am a bit late because the golden week was a tad busy, but I thought it was interesting what was in the recent flyer for May's school lunch menu. The 88th night after risshun (a day on the lunar calendar) you are supposed to drink new tea leaves and you will be healthy for the year. This year it fell on May second. I think these little superstitions are great fun to learn about and I am glad the school thought to share it.
