🥢熱天吃 鰻魚飯，👩🏻女生開的 福海鮮屋 Eating the eel with rice in Summer at Girls’ Fu Seafood Restaurant, Taipei
日本人夏天「土用丑日」是吃鰻魚的日子。
Japanese will eat the eel with rice in a particular day of Summer.
「丑」的日文發音為「うし」（u shi），日本人有在土用丑日，吃有「う」開頭食物的習俗，如梅子、烏龍麵、牛肉、鰻魚等，他們相信吃掉丑日「う」字能抗暑。
In Summer, Japanese will eat foods beginning with “う”, such as plums, udon noodles, beef, eel, etc., they believe that as long as they eat the ugly “う” word, they can resist heat.
鰻魚日文「うなぎ」正是「う」開頭，但最初日本人不在夏季吃鰻魚，因為夏鰻脂肪比不上冬鰻肥美。
江戶時期，鰻魚店家為促銷夏鰻，向學者平賀源內求救，平賀源內在紙上寫了「本日は土用の丑、鰻食うべし」（今天為土用之丑，應食鰻魚），讓店家貼在門口，吃夏鰻才漸成習俗。
The word of eel in Japanese “うなぎ” is the beginning of “う”, but at first the Japanese did not eat the eel in Summer, because of the eel in Winter with better fat.
In the time of Edo, the eel restaurant asked a Wise man for help to promote the eel in Summer. The Wise man wrote, “Eating the eel in a particular day of Summer will ease the heat.” Then the eel restaurant posted the note on the front door. In times, Japanese finally used to eat the eel in Summer as a custom.
我個人愛吃鰻魚飯，本來沒有遵循特定季節或日期。
I personally like to eat eel with rice, which did not follow any specific season or date.
不過，2018土用丑日是7月20日與8月1日兩天，動搖了我的想法，地球熱到好像燒起來一樣，吃任何冰品都無法解暑，胃口也差。
However, the Japanese eel day of 2018 was two days on July 20 and August 1. It shakes my mind. The earth was hot as if it is burning. It seemed that you couldn’t stop the heat invaliding into your body by eating or drinking anything.
遲了土用丑日一周，最後還是走進一家女生開的日式食堂，福海鮮屋，專程來吃鰻魚飯，也同時印證這個時節吃鰻魚飯的效果。
After the Japanese eel day, I finally walked into a Japanese-style restaurant opened by girls that served a great & simple eel with rice.
福海鮮屋的鰻魚飯，完全不囉唆。
除了一點點紅生薑跟小黃瓜，就是一大塊經過仔細塗醬烘烤的上等鰻魚，蓋在煮得恰到好處的白米飯上，隨餐附的味噌湯裡，滿滿的豆腐與魚肉。
The eel with rice in the Fu Seafood Restaurant is completely untouchable. Except for a little red ginger and cucumber, it is a large piece of fine eel that has been carefully coated and baked. The Miso soup is also full of tofu and fish.
那一大塊鰻魚，跟香軟米飯時而相黏、時而對望，在嘴裡慢慢咬著，好像慢慢有什麼令人開心的能量沁入體內。
The large piece of eel, sticky with the soft rice, sometimes looks at each other, biting slowly in the mouth, as if there is a happy energy that breaks into the body.
福海鮮屋其他菜單上的生魚蓋飯，在台北市屬低價位，幾個姊妹本來在附近市場就很有人緣，轉到巷子裡做日式食堂，服務還是很貼心。
The other dishes on the other menus of Fu Seafood Restaurant priced at a low level in Taipei.
Several girls were very popular in the nearby market. They turned to the alleys to make Japanese-style restaurant, and the service was very intimate.
