Examples

削(けず)った破片(はへん)を見(み)せてみろ。……うーむ、厚(あつ)みにムラがあるな。粉(こな)状(じょう)の削(けず)り屑(くず)が混(ま)ざっているようでは話(はなし)にならん。空気(くうき)に触(ふ)れた瞬間(しゅんかん)から酸化(さんか)による風味(ふうみ)の劣化(れっか)が始(はじ)まるというのに、これでは不揃(ふぞろ)い極(きわ)まりない削(けず)り節(ぶし)だ。

Show me what you've shaved. ...Hmm, the thickness is uneven. If there's powdery dust mixed in, it's no good at all. From the moment it touches the air, the flavor starts to degrade by oxidation, and these shavings are as uneven as they come. (N1 lesson 156)
