Let's Play Shiritori!
Let's play Shiritori! Shiritori is a Japanese game where someone says a word and you have to use that last consanant with your next word.

Rules:
Only nouns are permitted.
You have to only name words specified to that genre.
If your word ends with "n", then you lose.

The genre is: FOOD!

My word: Ringo
Meaning: Apple

(So the next person has to think of a food that starts with "go"...)

This game has been going on for years!Starting in 2006‼
Start with ”び”, so "びっくり(surprised)". Oops, that's not a noun.

び is tricky one. Another try, びん(bottle)... Oops, ends with ん. 病院(びょういん:hospital)...no, ん again.

秒(びょう:second) is good.

Next person find a word start with ”う”.
