Ushi no Yodare
In Japanese, there is a phrase "ushi no yodare" (牛の涎).
Ushi (牛) means cow or bull and yodare (涎) meams 'drool.'
Of course, "ushi no yodare" can literally mean "cow's drool," but it can also mean that something continues as a trickle like cow's drool.
Also, there is a proverb that uses this phrase, "akinai wa ushi no yodare" (商いは牛の涎 - business/trade is cow's drool).
This proverb means that you should continue your business patiently for a long time (should not rush to make a profit) like cow's drool keep falling slowly.
