Fishy sprinkle Explanation: "Furikake" is stuff for sprinkling on rice. It means sprinkle over. It is usually made of salty seaweed. Moni... hmmm... that is a tricky one. Sometimes it is an abreviation of the band "morning musume" (moring girls) name as in http://www.yk.rim.or.jp/~s_imazu/ (but the more usual abbreviation is mo-musume) And it also appears in the ban's name "puch moni" three super cute teanagers. All in all, I think that "moni" is a cutified version of "mono" meaning thing or person. So literally "furikake moni" is "cute things for sprinkling over rice". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-01-19 05:03:51 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, the name of the other band is \"mini moni\" since it was made of 4 members of morning musume. So, if your sprinkle is \"moni\" then you are sprinkling 13 year olds on your rice? I think that it is likely that you are misreading \"nori\" as those below suggest, but if it is moni then I stick with my \"cute thing\" interpretation all the same. |
