Synopsis
See how the Japanese perceive hydrants as faucets and how 栓 pertains to procedures for moving out of a home. Discover the onomatopoeia for “coming out with a pop,” as with a cork. Learn to say, "We're ready to eat, so can you open a bottle of wine?" "Store sealed in a dry, cool, and dark location," "Even after I turned on the faucet, no water came out," and "The main tap is turned off."
