    Example Word

    包丁: knife. The Japanese noun '包丁 (ほうちょう)' refers specifically to a 'kitchen knife' or 'chef's knife'. It is commonly used in the context of cooking and food preparation. This word is often associated with professional chefs or home cooks who use it for cutting, slicing, and chopping ingredients. For example: I bought a new kitchen knife「新しい包丁を買いました」(あたらしいほうちょうをかいました). The chef sharpened the knife「シェフは包丁を研ぎました」(シェフはほうちょうをとぎました). Note that '包丁' is distinct from other types of knives, such as pocket knives or utility knives, as it is specifically designed for culinary use.
