Welcome April! (+ Japanese Proverb)
Share
Japanese proverb to start the month of April: 一寸先は味 (Issun saki wa aji) “one inch away is taste!”….🤔
It’s a play on the well-known saying 一寸先は闇 (Issun saki wa yami), which means “The future is uncertain” or “Just an inch ahead is darkness.”
By replacing 闇 (darkness) with 味 (taste or flavor), the phrase could suggest something like: “An inch ahead is taste”
This could imply that life is unpredictable but filled with experiences to savor, or it could be a creative way to describe the excitement of exploring new tastes and culinary experiences.
