大家不妨在家里吃吃看这些日本夏日美食，同时想象自己现在就身处日本，过一过干瘾吧！！^O^
#1
Watermelon (Suika)
西瓜
If you ask Japanese, what is the food that will make you think of summer? Most of them will have "Suika" first in their mind. This "Suika" is not the SUICA transportation card we use for trains/ buses in Japan, but it is the Japanese name for watermelon.
After being chilled in the fridge, the juicy and crunchy watermelon is definitely one of the top favourite foods during summer!
You may want to try out the watermelon from Kumamoto prefecture in Kyushu region which has the largest production of watermelons in Japan!
 
如果你问日本人“说到夏天会想到什么食物呢？”，大部分人应该都会回答你“suika”。
这个suika可不是我们在日本搭电车用的西瓜卡，而是指真正的西瓜哟！
这些清脆多汁的西瓜，经过冰箱冷藏之后，绝对是夏季消暑食品中名列前茅的选手之一啊！
位于九州地区的熊本县是全日本西瓜产量最高的县，所以不妨到熊本县去品尝最地道的日本西瓜吧！
#2
Japanese Style Noodles (Somen)
素面
Speaking of traditional Japanese summer food, we must not miss out the famous cuisine experience, Nagashi-somen.
Delicious smooth noodles flow down along with clear cold water in a half-cut bamboo, you will need to grab the noodles with chopsticks very quickly and accurately or the noodles will just flow away.
Jot down this cuisine in your to-do-list for your next Japan trip and try it at Takachiho town in Miyazaki prefecture of Kyushu region, the birthplace of Nagashi-somen!
 
说到日本的夏天美食，当然就不能错过著名美食体验活动——流水素面啦！
美味顺滑的面条顺着清凉的水流从切开的竹管中流动，而你则需要用筷子又快又准确地从水中夹起面条，否则面条就会顺着水流溜走。
记下这道夏季美食并且将来到流水素面的发源地——宫崎县的高千穗町去品尝吧！
#3
Hiyashi Chuka
日式凉拌面
Hiyashi Chuka is a kind of Japanese cold noodles, normally eaten with chilled sauce and toppings such as shredded eggs, ham, cucumber, etc.
This is a common summer food of which you can simply find it in most convenience stores during summer, as well as Chinese restaurants located all over Japan.
Try them in Sendai where Hiyashi Chuka noodle is originated from once you are able to travel to Japan again!
 
日式凉拌面是一种日式冷面，一般配上冰凉的酱汁和配料如切成长条状的玉子烧、火腿肉、黄瓜等一同食用。
这是一道最普遍的夏季美食，你可以在日本的任何一家便利商店或中华料理店中轻易地找到。
当你可以前往日本旅游的时候，不妨到日式凉拌面地发源地——仙台去试试看这道美食吧！
#4
Eel (Unagi)
鳗鱼
Another classic food that Japanese people like to eat would be eel!
Although July in summer is not the best time to eat eel in Japan, but there is an ancient saying that one can regain their energy by eating food starting with "u" (as “u” in the name of "unagi") during summer.
So, how about we try to regain our energy by eating eel during hot weather in Malaysia too?!
If you are able to visit Japan in the future, you can visit Shizuoka prefecture to try their famous Hamamatsu eel rice there!
 
另外一个日本人喜欢在夏天吃的经典美食就是鳗鱼啦！
虽然夏天的7月并非最佳食用鳗鱼的时期，但是日本自古就有“三伏天该吃以u开头的食物（例如鳗鱼的日文中，unagi的u）来补充能量”之说。
因此，我们不如也尝试在马来西亚的炎热天气中吃鳗鱼来补充身体所需的能量吧！
如果将来你有机会前往日本的话，你也可以去静冈县品尝他们有名的滨松鳗鱼饭哦！
#5
Ice Cream
冰淇淋
Another classic dessert that Japanese people like to eat during summer is definitely ice cream!
There are various kinds of ice cream you can find all over in Japan.
How about trying a kind of ice cream which is born in America but raised up in Okinawa?
Blue Seal is an ice cream brand which is popular in Okinawa prefecture and it is a perfect match to the hot weather in Okinawa!
Other than classic flavours such as chocolate and vanilla flavour, they also offer local flavours such as Beni-imo (Okinawan sweet potato) flavour,  Okinawan Salt Cookies flavour, etc.
 
另外一个日本人在夏天喜欢吃的经典甜点非冰淇淋莫属啦！
你可以在全日本找到各式各样的冰淇淋。
大家不妨尝尝看一款“生在美国，长在冲绳”的冰淇淋——Blue Seal。
Blue Seal冰淇淋是一款冲绳当地的经典冰淇淋品牌，同时也是最适合当地亚热带气候的避暑食品哦！
除了经典的巧克力和香草口味之外，也有很多冲绳当地的口味，如红芋（冲绳产番薯）、盐金楚糕（冲绳版香草饼干+海盐口味）等。
