Those are some darn good noodles! Have you ever tried Shikoku udon? It’s famous because it’s beyond delicious! Today we’re going to a small but popular udon shop in Shikoku. A famous J-Pop star also pops in for a bite to eat.

We’ll learn how to make the past tense of -i adjectives. We’ll also look at the useful Japanese phrase ninki ga aru and also the important Japanese word zenzen. You’ll learn Japanese you can use everyday!

Mina-san, do you like small restaurants or big restaurants?

avatar Chii says:

They were talking about Gal Sone. :) I saw her on one of my favorite Japanese TV show and she sure eats a lot. She can eat 120 sushis in one go. :shock:

Anyway, good lessen here. Thank you very much Japanesepod!

avatar プチクレア says:

I love small restaurants. The best sushi restaurant I know seats barely 15 people.
The main complain I have with japanese restaurants (I’m talking about udon/soba/donburi restaurants, not sushi) in Paris is that the really good ones are so crowded that they tend to give you the bill and have you leave the very instant you’re finished… No lingering !

Sorry the quality of this photo was the best, because I took this by my Cell phone.

But this Udon was so good. It’s called “Kama bukkake udon.”

Fingers crossed that next episode Fabrizio has visa problems and is deported back to Italy, never to be heard of again.

avatar tony says:

Naomi san-sei,

Is it correct to say:
1. watashi wa gyuniku to youniku ga tabemasen (I do eat beef and lamb).
2. Watashi wa butaniku to tori ga daijoubu desu (I am fine with pork and chicken). :roll:

avatar Naomi says:

tony-san

Since particle “wa” can be used to show the comparison, I think “wa” should be used instead of “ga.”
And youniku does mean lamb or sheep meat however lamb is not as common as beef, chicken or pork in Japan, so I would say it is safe to call lamb as “ramu-niku” or “hituji-no-niku.”
So…
●Watashi wa gyuuniku to hitsujino niku wa tabemasen. Demo butaniku to toriniku wa daijoubu desu.
I don’t eat beef or lamb but I’m fine with pork and chicken.
:wink:
