Today, I’d like to introduce the Japanese term ‘oyatsu（おやつ）.’
Oyatsu means snack, but I think there are a little different nuances.
Since the time when we eat snacks was around 3 p.m in the past, so we often say “3時のおやつ（afternoon snacks eaten at about 3 p.m.）.”
Actually, ‘やつ’ of ‘おやつ’ means the time about 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.
‘お’ of ‘おやつ’ means a just polite expression.
But these days, people who say the term oyatsu as the meaning of purely snack has increased.
