Mirai and Co look so adorable that you could just about eat them along with the sushi too! How often so you eat Sushi? We have it about once a week in the Palm shopping arcade at Musashikoyama.

す (su) for "sushi"

Following on from the previous hiragana in this Moekana series which was し, today we learn "す" (su). Today's word is "すし” [寿司] (pronounced "sushi") which is mostly a slice of raw fish rested on vinegar rice. There are other types of Sushi including egg which I used to choose all the time just after arriving in Japan - wasn't used to eating raw fish. I only started to eat Sushi *with* wasabi after I heard how good it was for ones health ^^

The katakana equivalent of "す" is "ス".
Today's models are Mirai Suenaga, Haruka Suenaga and Kanata Hoshikawa illustrated by Ikkyu-san.

Example

You can use this in a sentence like:-
Omae no iki wa sushi kusai zo
お前の息はすし臭いぞ
Your breath smells like sushi

You can say this to the person who is interviewing you for a job who will think you are brave for saying such a thing and hire you immediately.

Exercise

Write out "す” 50 times while being interviewed on the table and say "す" just after being asked each question.
