Meaning

Primary

Shallow

Mnemonic

If you visit a bar after a tsunami, you’ll be hanging out in shallow water. After a tsunami, you want to relax with a drink at the bar. Unfortunately, tsunamis cause floods, and the bar floor is immersed in shallow water.

Hints

Picture yourself at this bar, sipping on a drink while you’re wading in this shallow water. Feel the shallow water getting your socks and shoes all wet. It’s uncomfortable and cold.

Readings

あさ

Mnemonic

What beer are you drinking at this bar while standing in shallow water? You’re drinking Asahi (あさ), the beer of the salaryman. Asahi is super dry, so it takes your attention away from the shallow water a bit.

Hints

Picture yourself in the bar again sipping on this Asahi beer. Taste the beery beer taste of Asahi as you walk around the bar with your wet feet.
