Before we get started, why don’t we go through a few Japanese words/phrases we can use while we cook or eat?
Firstly, at the start of the video Emma tells you her name in Japanese.

A few other phrases include:
Shari (pronounced: shaa-ree) means sushi rice
Hashi (pronounced: haa-shee) means chopsticks
Itadakimasu (pronounced: eat-a-ducki-maas) is what you say before you eat. It means ‘thank you for the meal we are about to eat’
