”MEN-KO-I,” the owner pointing her own face said.
I was chatting with the ramen shop owner behind the bar. I asked if locals spoke slang like Osaka people speak Osaka-ben. The owner in her 60s instantly gave me the example, but I did not understand.
”MEN-KO-I is KA-WA-I,” the owner explained.
Well, you had not only the slang but also the sense of humour like Osaka.
The photo is the horse Shin-Rin (means forest in Japanese) that I rode for a horseback riding experience in the city south. She is MEN-KO-I.
