I figured a meme for folks learning Japanese could be fun :)

    They’re kana characters which represent syllables. So ら is “ra” when romanized, ロ is “ro” and so on.

    Actually took me quite a while to figure out it’s supposed to say “Soul of coffee”, but it’s probably easier to read the less you know about Japanese characters.

        Same. I thought someone from marketing was working overtime. I really like the terochichimomo, ngl.

      Yeah as someone who just started reading Japanese, reading “soul of coffee” was easy. But I don’t even know all of these characters yet, I’m most of the way through hiragana, but haven’t started any other character sets
