| Koohii Story 1 | The freshest fish is caught in the middle of the night while most people are "counting sheep." (If you´ve ever been to Tsukiji fish market, you know what I mean). |
| Koohii Story 2 | This one´s easy to remember. The kanji gives 2 examples of foods that should be purchased fresh. To remember which foods, take the first letter of fresh, "F", to stand for fish and the final sound of fresh, "SH", to stand for sheep: FreSH. It even puts the primitives in the right order. |
