Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread

I'll just go with a food item for now. Good night.

まんじゅう

Edit/add: @cmertb We could make regular and theme-based advanced word game threads.

 

[Utsune]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread

うなぎ

(There could be one in the style of word-association? Two games in one, double the fun )

 

[cmertb]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread

ぎゅうにゅう (牛乳)

Let's go with food then

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread

Well, you could try the triple next time ... like...

するめ (dried squid) <shiritori+food+manga character: Surume from One Piece.>

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread

めだまやき (目玉焼き)

 

[Sai]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread

きなこアイスクリーム（Specifically from Gion Kinana) (also if this is gonna be food...you guys are so on!)

 

[Utsune]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread

(Yummm, that ice cream looks good Reminds me of the summers we've never had in the UK.)


むぎ　（麦）
Technically food; also Mugi from K-ON!, who often brings sugary snacks to club activities

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread

ギョーザ

 

[mikkih]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread

ざくろ　(pomegranate, a character from 『おとめ妖怪ざくろ・Otome Youkai Zakuro』)

cmertb, great dinner idea.

Uts, there is a chara called "麦" in the same manga/anime.

Sai, have you tried 黒ゴマソフトクリーム・roasted black-sesami-seed soft serve icecream? (Kyoto's Keifuku Arashiyama Station has a store that serves Kinako and Kurogoma soft serve. )

Edit/P.S. - Homonyms are considered to be separate, so I'll stop the manga reference here.

Why don't we let the food theme expire 24 hours after the first post (黒ゴマ by sai). Please someone pick a new theme. (Edit: Would 熊肉 supposed to be food...?)

 

[cmertb]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread

ロース

熊肉はもちろん食べ物です http://kariudonokura.jp/?pid=44251470 美味しそうね。

 

[Sai]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread

Hmmm since the food theme is over...

I'll do a good interime one that's food but leads into a new theme: Japanese Landmarks

寿司大　（すしだい）- One of the most famous if not the most famous sushi restaurants at the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo. I waited in a 4 hour long line to eat there and I knew it was good because by the end of the meal, I had forgotten that I waited 4 hours for it.

Also mikkih, I've had kurogoma ice cream before in Kyoto as well XD At Gion Kinana as part of sampler plate

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread

cmertb, I see... it sure is food, very expensive one

Sai, Great photoes. I made matcha and kinako mochi icecream cakes for dessert thx to you today.

Right now... too sleepy to find any great places, so I go with: いたみくうこう　（伊丹空港） It's an airport in Osaka.

Edit: I wanted to say 稲荷大社 - many manga features this place - but officially named 伏見稲荷大社.

Well, if you're mentioning maccha and Fushimi Inari...

うじ　(宇治 Uji, in Kyoto prefecture)

Byoudoin (tied with Fushimi Inari) is my favorite place in Kyoto ^.^

btw, would it be troubling to add a translation to the words we use? I didn't understand one word from page 1, so I thought, I could have you know, learn something. xD

 

[Sai]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread

You just had to use Uji....and make me figure out what the hell starts with Ji >.>

This feels like it's cheating but, it works and I have a picture to go with it!

ジブリ美術館の屋上のロボット兵の守り神 (ジブリびじゅつかんのおくじょうのロボットへいのまもりかみ）
Translation for Darj: The Guardian Deity Robot Soldier on the rooftop of the Ghibli Museum

... (I'm the fat one in the pic)

 

[Utsune]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread

Lol, even though Ghibli Museum on its own would have been fine
Speaking of Ghibli...

みやざきじんぐう　（宮崎神宮）
Miyazaki Shrine

 

[mikkih]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread

う again ... It's not that I want to see the Robot Statue, I'd love to visit the Ghibli museum one day. There isn't such thing like うつねの像 (statue of Utsune), is there?

How about
うじしげんじものがたりミュージアム：宇治市源氏物語ミュージアム /The Tale of Genji Museum [official site] - I never visited this place though.

It's been over 24 hours, so feel free to change a theme if anyone would like to continue with letter "む."

 

[Utsune]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread

むらさきしきぶ　（紫式部）

Since we're at it, famous people (doesn't have to be Japanese I guess)

(Of course statues of me exist, probably not in Japan though )

 

[mikkih]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread

Since Utsune posted... I was going to post a musician, but I need to get going so I PASS this turn.

ブラームス(Brahms, johannes)　is not his full name, so it's out.
ブラッド・ウルマー (James Blood Ulmer)if I start from his middle name.

Next person still starts with ぶ/ブ.

 

[Asarii]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread

A famous person whose name starts with ぶ・ブ? I was about to go with ブルドッグ・ソース (Bulldog sauce) if we were able to pick any word.

ブラッド・ピット (Brad Pitt)
