Hi everyone! New to the forum, and I have a little request for help. To give some background, I'm an artist working on some interior pieces for a hotel in Norway. My work plays with the interaction of meanings in images vs. meanings in words.

My question for the forum is this: In English, the word 'delicate' can be used to mean brittle or vulnerable (like an ecosystem), as well as to mean, somewhat archaically, a choice food (like eel or oysters). Does an equivalent or similar word or phrase exist in Japanese, carrying a similar double meaning?

Many thanks in advance!
