When you serve a dish for someone, try this phrase – “Dozo meshiagare!”

Cooking can be a fun activity we do at home and especially when we share our meal with someone special. So, when you cook and serve a dish to your loved ones, try the following phrase.

“Dozo meshiagare”, which means “Please enjoy your meal”

(“Dozo” – please, “Meshiagare” – enjoy your meal)

Repeat after me: “Dozo meshiagare.”

OK, let’s make the most of your time at home, and treat your family to a nice meal. See you in the next episode of Speakin’ Japanese.
