| Jun 9, 2011 at 5:14 | comment | added | hippietrail | It seems that one or more of these terms might exactly translate Korean "안주" (anju) which, in contrast, I learned by doing and not by reading (-: | |

| Jun 9, 2011 at 5:08 | comment | added | YOU | @hippietrail, it's hard to explain, but how about pictures | |
| Jun 9, 2011 at 5:07 | comment | added | hippietrail | Would it be limited to crunchy things? Can you give some examples perhaps the most distinct from what I've listed? Also I just found out that "sakana" and "shukō" both mean "food eaten as an accompaniment to alcohol", so what's the difference? | |
