You must want to share fun experience to family and friends, when you come to Japan!
Therefore, let me introduce the Japanese word for souvenir: Omiyage (お土産)
In Japanese, souvenir is called Omiyage (お土産)
From its kanji, miyage (土産) literally means product of the land. By putting the O (お) before, the word become a honorific word. Souvenir is product of the land (where we travel to), given to the people home. Or, it is a gift we bring when visit a person's home.
For people who haven’t bought Japanese souvenirs, tell your Japan trip experience, by doing an “Omiyage-banashi” or “souvenir talk”. And buy plenty of Japanese souvenirs for your family when you come to Japan!
Now let’s learn the words in the sentence!
