Examples

ほかほかの肉(にく)まんも美味(おい)しいよ!辛(から)いマスタードをつけると最高(さいこう)だ。

Steaming meat buns are delicious too! Putting spicy mustard on them is great. (N5 lesson 7)

その通(とお)りだ。素材(そざい)の細胞壁(さいぼうへき)を傷(きず)つけず、旨味(うまみ)成分(せいぶん)の流出(りゅうしゅつ)を防(ふせ)ぐ極上(ごくじょう)の切(き)れ味(あじ)を我(わ)がものとするため、裏(うら)押(お)しと刃(は)付(づ)けを一切(いっさい)妥協(だきょう)せずやり直(なお)せ!

Exactly. To make your own the finest sharpness, one that doesn't harm the cell walls of the ingredient or let its umami leak out, redo the back-flattening and the edge without any compromise! (N1 lesson 152)
