梅雨「つゆ」:Rainy season
梅雨 in Japan usually lasts from the middle of June to the end of July in most regions. The further north in Japan you go, the more likely rain is.
The two kanji for rainy season are:
梅 meaning 'plum'.
雨 meaning 'rain'.
The two kanji together can also be read as 'ばいゆ' meaning 'plum rain', as the rainy reason coincides with the season where Japan's plums, or うめ, are most ripe.
バズる:話題になる
It nowadays Japan, when something becomes a topic of conversation on the Internet, it is called "バズる"
As the summer arrives, Japan has several seasonal traditions to enjoy and one of them is Nagashi Shomen! Nagashi somen (流しそうめん/ flowing noodles) are thin noodles that are enjoyed flowing down a bamboo chute with ice-cold water. In the sweltering heat, somen (素麺) is the preferred food. This particular thin noodle is known as Nyumen when it is served hot (or warm) throughout the winter. It is served with Tsuyu, a light-flavored dipping sauce with ginger and onion, in Japan. It is believed to chill you down during the sweltering heat.
Nagashi somen is special because it takes some skills to catch the noodles – you need to be both fast and precise. It can create a unique and fun experience to enjoy your meal during the summer in Japan!
