Proof-read Food Vocab please? - 12-05-2010, 04:28 PM

Hi, I'm doing a large poster for my sister and I want to check the vocabulary for it is correct. I don't trust my dictionary! Basically each item will be labelled with Kanji (if applicable), the english meaning in english and the reading. So could someone check if the Kanji are correct- obscure or rarely-used kanji are OK, as this is mostly for the look of the thing but I'd rather avoid あてじ/incorrect Kanji! and also can you check if the hiragana reading is correctly written, please. Feel free to totally ignore the romaji, though i can figure that out myself as long as the hiragana are correct.

ロマ字 > ローマ字

冬瓜  とうがん

サツマ芋 > 薩摩芋 if you wanna use more kanji. 

鰯、鰮? Use first one.

柚 is OK but 柚子 is more often used.

水瓜 is OK but 西瓜 is more often used.

— メロン Melon Meron? or just Melon? Why use "l" in romaji?

ロブスタ  > ロブスター

鮃  > 平目

丁字 is OK but 丁子 would be better.

ご飯/米? ごはん/こめ? rice Gohan/kome. Cooked=ご飯  Raw=米

???  なつめやしのみ? Date natsuyashi-no-mi?  棗椰子の実  Your reading is correct.

??? じゅんさい watershield? jyunsai 蓴菜
