Imagine this sentence in English;
I want Japanese cooking.

You can say it, but it is kind of weird. You would normally say you want to eat Japanese food, not that you want Japanese cooking.

In Japanese, it is the same. You would say you want to eat something, not that you just want it. Add to this that 欲しい is stronger possessive than want in English, so it would become something along the lines of "I want to own some Japanese cooking."


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
