Meat

niku

This character also means “flesh.” To distinguish this from mi, meaning flesh, I excluded “flesh” from the title. Hearing niku or more polite oniku, we imagine that it is soft meat to eat. You might wonder what the difference between the two characters: niku and mi. The former is today’s character, which implies animal’s meat carnivores eat or carnality. The latter is your physical part and it can be contrasted to mind and spirit or distinguished from skin and bones.

Nikutai means a body. Physical beauty is nikutaibi. Nikushoku is carnivore.

Irony or sarcasm is hiniku.
