Cultural Note
π₯© θ has an interesting place in Japanese culture:
β’ Historically, meat eating was limited in Japan due to Buddhist influences; large-scale consumption became common only after the Meiji era.
β’ Today, meat dishes like ηΌθ (yakiniku), γγηΌγ (sukiyaki), and γ¨γγγ€ (tonkatsu) are staples of Japanese cuisine.
β’ θ is used both literally (food) and figuratively (strength, body).
