What do you say before you eat?

In Japan, we say “Itadakimasu.”

Everything we eat comes from a life. “Itadakimasu” is our way of expressing gratitude for those lives that nourish us.

The dining table doesn’t only connect people. It also connects us with every living thing on Earth— animals, fish, rice, vegetables, fruits…

Every meal is a reminder that we are part of one great circle of life. So before each meal, take a moment to celebrate the joy of being alive today.

Itadakimasu.

A word that connects all life. A beautiful word from Japan to remember. Share it with someone you care about.

You’re always welcome at An’s Table 💛😊😊❤️
