Deputy Editor of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. I’m Sasashina, a mom currently raising an elementary schooler and a preschooler. During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

When someone asks you to name a food that starts with “mi,” it’s not easy to come up with one right away, is it?

The classic example is mikan (mandarin orange), but that would be disallowed in shiritori…

So in this article, I’d like to introduce a variety of foods that start with “mi.”

I’ve gathered foods beginning with “mi,” ranging from two to six characters—such as mizuna, Minazuki, and meatballs—so feel free to use this list whenever you need it, like for a shiritori game.

You might even discover a food you’ve never encountered before!

Speaking of meatballs, they’re a classic lunchbox staple that kids love! With a variety of sauces like teriyaki-style, tomato-based, and sweet-and-sour, the different flavors keep them from ever getting boring!

In conclusion

We introduced lots of foods that start with “mi”! How many could you remember? I bet quite a few of you saw this article and realized you knew them but couldn’t think of them at the time.

Take this chance to lock them in, and if you get a chance to play shiritori, be sure to show them off!
