How to Use Japanese Counters to Express Quantity
How To Use Japanese Counters To Express Quantity
One of the biggest problems and frustration most beginner Japanese learners face is to study Japanese grammar counters. Mastering Japanese counters can be quite tricky since each counters has a different set of rules that will affect how a quantity should be pronounced.
For simplicity sake, let’s use the basic Japanese counter hai which is used to measure how many cupfuls of liquids. You normally use this Japanese counter for water, beer, tea and so on.
Now, the interesting this about Japanese counter is that the quanity will change the way you pronounce a Japanese counter. For example: One cup is ippai. How about 2 cups? Well, it’s nihai. 10 cups? Juppai. See the difference here?
Most beginner Japanese learners find this inconsistency very annoying and bothersome and I agree with them totally. But such strange rule is not constructed without a valid reason. The true reason behind this is simple: It sounds better. That’s right.
See, ippai sounds better than ihai. Try pronouncing it for yourself. I’m sure you will agree on that. Nippai doesn’t sound as good as nihai. Nippai sounds a bit silly. Juppai sounds more in quantity than juhai.
There are many more Japanese counters that you can learn to expand your knowledge on classifying objects in Japanese. For example, counter for people should never be used for anything else and vice versa.

How to make Chicken teriyaki without mirin, And sake or other hard to buy japanese stuff?
We dont have time to go 140 k and 3hour ride to a supermaret.
Honey Teriyaki Chicken
• 2 cups water
•1 tablespoon butter
•1 teaspoon salt, eyeball it
•1 rounded cup white rice
•2 tablespoons black sesame seeds, toasted white sesame seeds may be substituted
•4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
•4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
•Vegetable oil, for drizzling
•Salt and pepper
•1 cup chicken broth or water
•1-inch ginger root, peeled and chopped
•1/4 cup honey
•1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
•1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
•4 scallions, thinly sliced
•1 ripe pineapple
Directions
Preheat a grill pan or large griddle over medium high heat.
Bring water to a boil in a small covered pot. Add butter, salt and rice to the pot. Return the water to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and replace cover. Simmer 18 minutes and remove rice from heat. Take the lid off the pot to cool rice a bit. Scoop rice into balls with an ice cream scoop and your hands. Dampen hands with water to work with rice if it is very sticky. Set rice balls on a plate and sprinkle with black sesame seeds.
While your rice is cooking, lightly coat chicken with oil, salt and pepper. Place chicken on hot grill and cook 6 minutes on the first side.
While chicken is cooking, bring chicken broth and ginger to a boil. Stir in honey. When honey has dissolved into broth, add teriyaki sauce and sesame oil and reduce heat to simmer.
Turn chicken and coat liberally with honey teriyaki sauce using a basting brush. Cook chicken 4 minutes, turn again and baste liberally again with sauce, then cook 2 minutes longer. Remove chicken to a plate. Garnish chicken with sliced scallions.
While chicken cooks on the second side, peel and cut a ripe pineapple into 8 spears. Cut off top and bottom of pineapple. Set pineapple upright and trim away skin in strips from top to bottom. Halve pineapple lengthwise and quarter each 1/2, lengthwise. The core is edible, but may be trimmed if you wish. Pineapple can be very acidic. Spears set in cold water for just 1 minute will keep the fruit from stinging your lips when it is eaten. Serve with chicken and rice balls
