Nihongo Stickers

Possibly one of the greatest institutions ever created in Japan… the IZAKAYA! Literally it means “a place for drinking”, it’s essentially a Japanese tapas restaurant with loads alcohol, and a great variety of small plates of food for sharing. Many chain izakayas have picture menus in Japan, which also ups the awesome factor when you don’t speak Japanese. Just beware of “nonkotsu”… it looks like fried chicken, but it fried pieces of cartilage… we’ve made that mistake before. Get this shirt and get to an izakaya now!

“Karaoke Iku?” (should we go to Karaoke?) is a great shirt to get the party moving to Karaoke. Once there, everyone has a great time, but sometimes it seems people need convincing. This shirt has the power to convince… what a waste it would be if you wore this shirt and didn’t go to karaoke… “mottainai desu ne”. Get singing and having fun with this great shirt.

In America when counting numbers, it’s common to mark four slashes, then one strike through to represent 5. In Japan, they use the kanji for the number 5… it just so happens that the kanji for five, has five strokes. Each stroke counts from 1 to 5… it’s good to know, and the shirt looks cool. Learning, and looking cool!? Thanks Psychic Cat!
