Masu

But we also drink it in a square wooden box called a masu. ❋ Stephen Hunter (2009)

They injected newly hatched but sterile Asian masu salmon with sperm-growing cells from rainbow trout — and watched the salmon grow up to produce trout. ❋ Unknown (2007)

There are 10 salmonid fish such as chum, pink and masu salmon Onchorhyncus keta, O. gorbuscha and O. masu, Dolly Varden char Salvelinus malma, white-spotted char Salvelinus leucomaenis, and Japanese hucho Hucho perryi. ❋ Unknown (2008)

One watershed adjacent to the Bystrinsky Nature Park contains eleven species of salmonid fish, several being considered nationally threatened: king Oncorhynchus tschawytscha, silver O. kisutch, both resident and anadromous forms of sockeye salmon O. nerka and steelhead and rainbow trout Salmo mykiss, chum O. keta, pink O. gorbuscha and cherry salmon O. masu, Dolly Varden char Salvelinus malma, white-spotted char S. leucomaenis, and whitefish Coregonis ssp. ❋ Unknown (2008)

A ceramic dish of sea salt is placed on the table, and Eva-san sets me straight: I'm to put a pinch of the salt on a corner of the masu, drink from that corner, raising the masu and ceramic saucer together, replenish the salt in the corner whenever I want, and in the end drink all the spillage in the saucer; then order more sake and do it again. ❋ Tosches, Nick (2007)

The waitress pours us some, letting the cold sake overflow to the ceramic saucer beneath the masu, the sake box, made of the same pale wood, hinoki — a cypress that grows only in Japan — from which the best sushi-bar counters are crafted. ❋ Tosches, Nick (2007)

Then a hot pot of cherry trout (sakura masu), whose season also lasts only a few weeks in spring. ❋ Tosches, Nick (2007)

Not in meaning "do not come", but rather "can not come". kaneru attaches to the same form that -masu does called 連用形 in Japanese. ❋ Unknown (2007)

In a report in the science journal Nature , researchers at Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology described how they transferred primordial germ cells, which can develop into either sperm or eggs, from newly hatched rainbow trout embryos to masu salmon embryos. ❋ Unknown (2004)
