| That is not a stupid question at all. I had not seen this so I just did a google search "akoya means saltwater in Japanese" and the Sites popped up. Apparently one Site decided this and the others took it for granted that it was true. Well, surprise - it is not true.
Saltwater in Japanese is Shiomizu, not Akoya. I do not know if everyones' computers will be able to read this, but this is saltwater in Japanese 塩水. Akoya is the type of oyster, the common name of the Pinctada fucata. Believe it or not the Japanese word Akoya means Akoya in English! |
