Hey all!I just got back from a trip to Japan. :smiley: If you want to see my travels, I kept a blog here . Anyway, while I was there, I decided to pick up a book of crosswords, for a different kind of practice, and boy is it kinda tricky. I was thinking maybe we could make it a group effort, and ev…

[image] Okanekure: 10-across グリコーゲン Aha. We have an answer at last. Wonder why my dictionary searches weren’t turning up anything. [image] Okanekure: 19-across イソ I just said that. :stuck_out_tongue: Lemme make a filled-in grid… 16-down オオトロ 8-across カツオ I think - mostly want to say…

you missed 24-across スキ on the grid :wink: It’s funny, I’ve had mikan and katsuo on my grid just never typed them in lol 29-across とろろ which makes 34 down ロシ 13-across ヤマトイモ 33-across ハモノ 2-down ホタテガイ making 2-across 本 which I’ve thought all along but couldn’t make it fit 27-down ツガイ 32-down …

[image] Okanekure: you missed 24-across スキ on the grid … I knew that. I was making sure you were paying attention. :stuck_out_tongue: [image] Okanekure: 29-across とろろ I pondered that, but wasn’t entriely sure how it related to the clue… [image] Okanekure: 34 down ロシ Oh, of cou…

[image] Belthazar: I guess it’s definition 2 ? I was thinking definition 1. The crosswords are in a book aren’t they? So to read that question and these puzzles you are looking at a book right now.

… Oh. Ohhh. I read that clue as being much more figurative than it actually was. :stuck_out_tongue:

Next puzzle! [IMG_4776] [IMG_4777] This one is… kinda odd. I confess I’m not even sure where to start.

Nice, a fresh start. I’ve been pretty focused on N4 and work lately, so I’ll see if I can do something on this one. Although it does look a little harder than usual. :sweat_smile:

It looks to me like it’s 100% cultural references, or something. Like, why all the speech marks?

Ok, I had a peek at the answers so I’d at least have some idea of the form this puzzle takes. 1-across is プロポーズ. And some to think of it, I do seem to recall watching an anime or drama in which someone proposes exactly like this. Though, I’m not entirely sure if that helps any…

Now that I think about it, it is common. Basically eat their handmade food for the rest of their life.
