Now, on to the NEW stuff.
And the good news:
At our next meeting, we won’t just REVIEW this new vocabulary, we'll EAT it.
YUM.

But first an overview of Japanese food and restaurants.

Nihon = Japan
No = posessive
Nihon no = of Japan or Japanese

Taberu = verb, to eat
Mono = thing
Tabemono = eat thing, thing to eat or . . . FOOD

Or NIHON RYORI = Japan cooking = Japanese food
