**** いただきます：ITADAKI-MASU ****

This is a word to use before meal or anytime you eat something. It is translated as "Let's eat" or something because there is not such word in English.

"ITADAKI-MASU" means "I will take it" when directly translated but it means "Saying thank you for the service and the lives lost for my meal".

Honestly speaking, I had been believing "ITADAKI-MASU" is the word for my mother who prepared my meal. I found it's Buddism back ground after high school age.
