Other ways of saying delicious in the Hakata Dialect.
So you have learned how to say oishii to signify your gratitude for the hearty portions of o konomiyaki, tako yaki, yakiniku, oden no tamago, sashimi, natto or especially the jewel like, mouth-watering succulent toro you have just eaten. Well when on the most southern island of Kyu^shu^ try these varieties for differing effects on your hosts. Next time you are invited to a meal in Kyu^shu^ and the food is exceptionally good, try the following Japanese words for delicious instead of saying the usual word oishii to show your appreciation in 4 new ways:
1. bariuma - nice, tasty delicious, very good, superb, frikkin awesome homie! - bari being the intensifier and umai meaning sweet or oishii or in other words delicious.
2. barioishii - same as in 1 above.
3. mechauma - an abbreviation of mechakucha and umai or the intensifier mechakucha meaning absurd, unreasonable sweet (or good, delicious) so mechauma would literally mean absurdly delicious.
4. bakauma - baka umai - foolishly delicious
As always, Do your best! Ganbatte Ne! Makurasuki Sensei.
