A description of the word the Japanese use.

When the meal

I-TA-DA-KI-MA-SU

Before meals
I believe that there is life in all to vegetables to meat. Humans, by incorporating its life in the body, we believe that can stay alive. So, move the hand like a Buddhist, and I say before meals.
I want to my life received your our life.

GO-CHI-SO-U-SA-MA

After a meal
And grow food, and procurement and running around it, and gave me a delicious cuisine, it is a word to thank to everyone.
