When counting plates or dishes in Japanese, we use a special counter word: ~枚 (mai). This word is attached to the number to specify that you are counting flat objects like plates, sheets of paper, or even t-shirts.
For example, if you want to say 'one plate,' you would say 一枚 (ichi-mai). For 'two plates,' it's 二枚 (ni-mai). It’s a very common counter, so remembering it will help you a lot when talking about everyday items!
When counting plates or dishes in Japanese, we use a special counter word: ~枚 (mai).
For example, if you want to say "one plate," you would say 一枚 (ichi-mai). For "two plates," it's 二枚 (ni-mai), and so on.
You can use ~枚 for anything thin and flat, like sheets of paper, shirts, or even slices of bread. But for plates specifically, ~枚 is the common counter. While there is a counter ~皿 (sara) that literally means "plate," it's more commonly used to specify the *contents* of a plate, rather than counting the plates themselves.
When counting plates or dishes in Japanese, we use the counter ~sara (~皿). You attach this counter to numbers. For example, to say "one plate," you would say hitosara (一皿). For "two plates," it's futasara (二皿), and for "three plates," it's sansara (三皿).
This counter is specifically for flat items like plates, saucers, or even servings on a plate. Remember to use the correct pronunciation changes when combining numbers with sara.

For example, to say "one plate," you would say hitosara (一皿). For "two plates," it's futasara (二皿), and for "three plates," it's sansara (三皿). This counter is specifically for flatware like plates and bowls, not for cups or other types of containers.
When counting plates or dishes in Japanese, we use the counter ~皿 (~sara). The pronunciation of ~皿 changes depending on the number preceding it. For example, 一皿 (ひとさら - hitosara) for one plate, 二皿 (ふたさら - futasara) for two plates, and 三皿 (さんざら - sanzara) for three plates.
Notice how the 's' sound in 皿 changes to a 'z' sound after certain numbers like three (三). This phonetic change, known as rendaku, is common in Japanese. It's important to pay attention to these sound changes as they are crucial for natural and correct pronunciation.
When counting plates or dishes in Japanese, we use the counter ~皿 (~sara). The pronunciation of ~皿 changes depending on the number preceding it. For example, 一皿 (hitosara) means "one plate," and 二皿 (futasara) means "two plates." This counter is versatile and can be used for various types of dishes, from small plates to large serving platters. It's a fundamental counter to learn for anyone navigating meal times or shopping for tableware in Japan. Mastering this counter will significantly enhance your ability to communicate about quantities in daily situations.

§ Understanding ~皿 (sara)
The Japanese counter ~皿 (sara) is specifically used for counting plates, dishes, and similar flat items. It's pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it. Think of it like saying "two slices" of bread or "three pieces" of cake in English. You wouldn't just say "two bread" or "three cake," right? In Japanese, many items require a specific counter, and ~皿 is the one for dishes.
- Japanese Word
- ~皿 (sara)
- Definition
- Counter for plates, dishes.
§ Basic Usage: Number + ~皿
To use ~皿, you simply attach it to a number. Here's a quick reference for the common counts:
- 1皿 (hitosara): one plate
- 2皿 (futasara): two plates
- 3皿 (sansara): three plates
- 4皿 (yonsara): four plates
- 5皿 (gosara): five plates
- 6皿 (rokusara): six plates
- 7皿 (nanasara): seven plates
- 8皿 (hassara): eight plates
- 9皿 (kyuusara): nine plates
- 10皿 (juusara): ten plates
- 何皿 (nansara): how many plates?
Notice the slight sound changes for 1, 6, 8, and 10. These are common with Japanese counters, so it's good to pay attention to them. Don't worry too much about memorizing every single one right away; practice will make it natural.
ケーキを一皿ください。
Hint: I want one plate of cake.
このお寿司は二皿で十分です。
Hint: Two plates of this sushi are enough.
§ Asking "How many plates?"
When you want to ask how many plates there are, you use 何皿 (nansara).
お皿は全部で何皿ありますか？
Hint: How many plates are there in total?
何皿食べましたか？
Hint: How many plates did you eat?
§ Placement in Sentences
The counter phrase (number + ~皿) usually comes before the verb or before the object it's counting, often followed by the particle を (o) if it's the direct object of the verb. However, it can also stand alone or be used with は (wa) for emphasis.
彼はお寿司を五皿食べました。
Hint: He ate five plates of sushi.
テーブルの上に三皿あります。
Hint: There are three plates on the table.
§ When to use ~皿
You'll typically use ~皿 when you're talking about:
- Individual plates of food, like at a sushi restaurant where you pay per plate.
- Counting actual empty plates or dishes.
- Ordering food that comes in individual plate servings.
It's less common for counting things like a stack of plates in a cupboard unless you're specifically emphasizing the individual units. For a stack, you might just say 「お皿がたくさん」 (osara ga takusan - many plates).
このレストランは、お寿司が一皿100円です。
Hint: At this restaurant, sushi is 100 yen per plate.
Using ~皿 correctly shows that you understand how items are categorized and counted in Japanese. Keep practicing, and you'll master it in no time!
§ What ~sara means
- DEFINITION
- The suffix ~皿 (~sara) is a counter specifically used for plates or dishes in Japanese. Think of it like saying "two plates of sushi" instead of just "two sushi." It clarifies that you're counting the serving vessels, not the food itself. This counter is essential for ordering food, discussing meals, or even counting items in a kitchen.
§ How to use ~sara
You attach ~sara to numbers to specify how many plates. It's pretty straightforward, but like many Japanese counters, there are a few pronunciation changes to be aware of. Here's a quick look:
- 一皿 (ひとさら - hitosara): one plate
- 二皿 (ふたさら - futasara): two plates
- 三皿 (さんざら - sansara): three plates
- 四皿 (よんさら - yonsara): four plates
- 五皿 (ごさら - gosara): five plates
- 六皿 (ろくさら - rokusara): six plates
- 七皿 (ななさら - nanasara): seven plates
- 八皿 (はちさら - hachisara): eight plates
- 九皿 (きゅうさら - kyūsara): nine plates
- 十皿 (じゅっさら/じっさら - jussara/jissara): ten plates
- 何皿 (なんざら - nansara): how many plates?
§ Where you'll hear this word
You'll frequently hear ~sara in everyday situations, especially when dining out or talking about food. Here are some common scenarios:
At a restaurant (especially sushi)
When you're at a sushi restaurant, especially a conveyor belt sushi place, you'll often hear this counter. The cost is usually determined by the number and color of plates you've eaten.
すみません、このお寿司は何皿ですか？
Hint: Excuse me, how many plates is this sushi?
私たちは五皿食べました。
Hint: We ate five plates.
In the kitchen or at home
If you're helping with dishes or setting the table, you might hear or use ~sara to count plates.
ここに三皿あります。
Hint: There are three plates here.
お客さんが来るので、四皿用意してください。
Hint: Guests are coming, so please prepare four plates.
Discussing portion sizes
Sometimes, ~sara can imply a portion size, especially for shared dishes or appetizers.
このパスタは一人一皿でいいですか？
Hint: Is one plate per person enough for this pasta?
§ Why it matters
Using the correct counter shows respect and fluency in Japanese. Misusing counters can lead to misunderstandings, especially when ordering food. Imagine asking for "two sushi" versus "two plates of sushi" – the latter is much clearer about your intention. Mastering ~sara will make your dining experiences in Japan smoother and more authentic.
§ Don't Confuse ~皿 with Other Counters
Many English speakers learning Japanese sometimes struggle with counters. This is normal! In English, we just say "two plates" or "three dishes." In Japanese, you need a specific counter. For plates and dishes, that's ~皿 (sara). A common mistake is trying to use a general counter like ~つ (tsu) or not using any counter at all.
- DEFINITION
- Counter for plates, dishes.
It's important to remember that ~皿 specifically counts plates and dishes. Don't use it for other flat objects like sheets of paper (which use ~枚, mai) or for bowls (which often use ~個, ko, or sometimes ~杯, hai for bowls of food/drink).
§ Incorrect Usage: Omitting the Counter
You wouldn't just say "お皿二あります" (osara ni arimasu) to mean "there are two plates." While grammatically intelligible, it's not natural Japanese. You need the counter attached to the number.
お皿が二枚あります。(Osara ga ni-mai arimasu.) - Incorrect: Using ~枚 for plates.
お皿が二つあります。(Osara ga futatsu arimasu.) - Incorrect: Using the general counter ~つ.
The correct way is to combine the number with ~皿 (sara).
お皿が二皿あります。(Osara ga ni-sara arimasu.) - Correct: There are two plates.
§ Pronunciation Changes with Numbers
Another common pitfall is not recognizing the pronunciation changes that occur when numbers combine with ~皿. This is called rendaku (連濁) or similar phonetic changes. For example, when "one" (いち, ichi) combines with ~皿 (sara), it becomes ひと皿 (hito-sara), not いち皿 (ichi-sara). However, for numbers like four, six, and seven, it usually stays regular.
- 一つ (hitotsu) vs. 一皿 (hito-sara) - One item vs. One plate
- 二つ (futatsu) vs. 二皿 (ni-sara) - Two items vs. Two plates
- 三つ (mittsu) vs. 三皿 (san-sara) - Three items vs. Three plates
- 四つ (yottsu) vs. 四皿 (yon-sara) - Four items vs. Four plates
- 五つ (itsutsu) vs. 五皿 (go-sara) - Five items vs. Five plates
- 六つ (muttsu) vs. 六皿 (roku-sara) - Six items vs. Six plates
- 七つ (nanatsu) vs. 七皿 (nana-sara) - Seven items vs. Seven plates
- 八つ (yattsu) vs. 八皿 (hachi-sara) - Eight items vs. Eight plates
- 九つ (kokonotsu) vs. 九皿 (kyuu-sara) - Nine items vs. Nine plates
- 十 (too) vs. 十皿 (juu-sara) - Ten items vs. Ten plates
Pay special attention to 一皿 (hito-sara) and other specific combinations. It's not just a matter of sticking any number in front of ~皿. Practice these combinations to make them natural.
§ When to Use the Honorific お皿 (osara)
Sometimes you'll hear お皿 (osara) instead of just 皿 (sara). The お (o) prefix is an honorific prefix, used to show politeness or respect, or simply to make a word sound softer and more elegant. While 皿 (sara) is perfectly fine on its own, お皿 (osara) is very common in everyday conversation, especially when talking about something belonging to others or in a restaurant setting.
すみません、お皿を三皿ください。(Sumimasen, osara o san-sara kudasai.) - Excuse me, three plates please. (Polite)
この皿は綺麗だね。(Kono sara wa kirei da ne.) - This plate is pretty, isn't it? (Casual, still correct)
§ Understanding ~sara (~皿): Plate Counter
The Japanese counter ~皿 (sara) is straightforward. It’s used specifically for counting plates, dishes, or plate-like objects. Think of anything that holds food and is relatively flat and round, and you're probably safe using ~皿.
- Japanese Word
- ~皿 (~sara)
- Meaning
- Counter for plates, dishes
- CEFR Level
- B1
§ Examples with ~sara
Here are some common scenarios where you'd use ~皿:
- Counting plates of food in a restaurant.
- Talking about the number of empty dishes you need for dinner.
- Describing how many servings (on a plate) someone ate.
ケーキを二皿食べました。(Ke-ki wo ni-sara tabemashita.)
- Hint
- I ate two plates of cake.
お皿が三枚あります。(O-sara ga san-mai arimasu.)
- Hint
- There are three plates. (Here, the general counter for flat objects, 枚 (mai), is used with 'o-sara' to count the physical plates themselves.)
このお好み焼きは一皿いくらですか？ (Kono okonomiyaki wa ichi-sara ikura desu ka?)
- Hint
- How much is this okonomiyaki per plate?
§ Similar Words and When to Use ~sara vs. Alternatives
Japanese has many counters, and it's easy to mix them up. For plates and dishes, ~皿 is the primary one when you're talking about the contents or a serving. However, there are times when other counters might be more appropriate depending on what you're trying to emphasize.
- ~枚 (mai): This is the general counter for flat, thin objects. While a plate is flat, ~枚 counts the *physical plate itself*, not a serving on it. If you're talking about how many empty plates you have to set the table, ~枚 is often used for the plates as individual items. For example, 「お皿を五枚ください。」(O-sara wo go-mai kudasai.) - "Please give me five plates." Here, you want five physical plates, not five servings.
- ~個 (ko): This is a very general counter for small, somewhat round, or undefined objects. While you *could* technically use it for plates in a very loose sense (e.g., if you're just referring to 'items'), it's much less specific and less common than ~皿 or ~枚 for actual plates. Avoid using ~個 for plates unless you have no other choice or the context is extremely broad.
- ~膳 (zen): This counter is used for a pair of chopsticks or a set meal. It's not for individual plates. Don't confuse it with ~皿.
The key distinction is whether you're counting the *plate as a container/serving* (~皿) or the *plate as a flat object* (~枚). Most of the time, if food is involved or implied, ~皿 is your go-to. If you are literally just counting empty plates, ~枚 is often preferred.
چقدر رسمی است؟
"お皿を五枚ください。 (O-sara o go-mai kudasai.) (Please give me five plates.)"
"お皿が何枚ありますか？ (O-sara ga nan-mai arimasu ka?) (How many plates are there?)"
"皿、３枚いる？ (Sara, san-mai iru?) (Need three plates?)"
"お皿を３つくださいな。 (O-sara o mittsu kudasai na.) (Please give me three plates.)"

Often confused with ~皿 because both can be used to count flat objects. However, 一枚 is a general counter for flat, thin items, while ~皿 is specifically for plates or dishes.
一枚 is for general flat objects like sheets of paper, shirts, or even pizzas. ~皿 is exclusively for plates, bowls, or servings on a plate.
ピザを一枚ください。(Please give me one pizza.)
Can be confused when talking about food, as both relate to food items. However, 一品 refers to a dish or item on a menu, not the physical plate it's served on.
一品 counts individual food items or dishes (e.g., 'one menu item'). ~皿 counts the actual plates or the number of servings on plates.

General counter for small, roundish objects. A plate can sometimes be thought of as a single object, leading to confusion.

نحوه استفاده
When counting flat objects like plates, dishes, or even servings of food on a plate, you use the counter ~皿 (~sara). For example, to say "two plates," you would say 二皿 (nisara). Remember that the pronunciation changes depending on the number. For one plate, it's 一皿 (hitosara), and for three plates, it's 三皿 (sansara). It's also used for individual servings of food, so if you ordered two plates of curry, you'd use ~皿.
A common mistake is confusing ~皿 (~sara) with other counters for flat objects. While it can apply to things like CDs or records, ~枚 (~mai) is generally more common for very thin, flat items. ~皿 specifically refers to plates or servings. Another mistake is not knowing the pronunciation changes for different numbers; make sure to learn them! For example, don't say *ichisara for one plate; it's **hitosara**.
نکات
Basic Usage of ~皿
When counting plates or dishes, you attach ~皿 (sara) directly to the number. For example, 一皿 (ひとさら - one plate).
Pronunciation Changes for ~皿
Be aware that the pronunciation of the number before ~皿 can change. For instance, instead of にさら (nisara) for two plates, it's 二皿 (ふたさら - futasara).
Common Numbers with ~皿
Some common counts include 一皿 (ひとさら - one plate), 二皿 (ふたさら - two plates), 三皿 (さんさら - three plates), and 四皿 (よんさら - four plates).
Asking How Many Plates
To ask 'how many plates?', you use 何皿 (なんさら - how many plates?). For example, 皿はいくつありますか？ (Sara wa ikutsu arimasu ka? - How many plates are there?).
Using ~皿 in a Restaurant
In a restaurant, you might hear 'ビールと餃子一皿お願いします' (Bīru to gyōza hitosara onegai shimasu - Beer and one plate of gyoza, please).
Counting Different Types of Dishes
~皿 can be used for various types of dishes, not just flat plates. Think bowls, or any individual serving dish. For example, サラダ二皿 (sarada futasara - two plates of salad).
Don't Confuse with お皿
While お皿 (osara) means 'plate' generally, ~皿 is specifically for counting them. Don't use お皿 to count.
Practice with Daily Objects
Look around your kitchen and practice counting plates and dishes using ~皿. This helps solidify your understanding and makes it more natural for you to use in daily conversations.
Larger Quantities with ~皿
For larger numbers, the pronunciation typically reverts to the standard number plus さら (sara). For example, 五皿 (ごさら - five plates), 六皿 (ろくさら - six plates).
Cultural Context of Serving
In Japan, food is often served on individual plates or small dishes. Understanding ~皿 helps you appreciate how food is traditionally presented and shared among diners.

You attach ~皿 after a number. For example: ひとつ (one) + 皿 = ひと皿 (hitosara - one plate); ふたつ (two) + 皿 = ふた皿 (futasara - two plates). Note that the pronunciation might change slightly for some numbers.
Yes, there are some special pronunciations. For example: ひとつ (one) becomes ひと皿 (hitosara), and はち (eight) becomes はち皿 (hachisara) or はっ皿 (hassara), depending on context and preference. It's good to pay attention to these when you encounter them.
Generally, ~皿 is used for flat dishes or plates. For example, a plate of sushi or a plate of pasta. For bowls, you would typically use a different counter like ~杯 (hai).
皿 (sara) by itself means 'plate' or 'dish'. ~皿 (~sara) is the counter suffix that you attach to a number to specify 'number of plates'. So, 皿 is the noun, and ~皿 is the counter.
You would typically use 何皿 (nansara) to ask 'how many plates'. For example: 'お寿司は何皿食べましたか？' (Osushi wa nansara tabemashita ka?) - 'How many plates of sushi did you eat?'
~皿 can be used for both individual plates and serving dishes, as long as they are generally flat or dish-like. The context usually makes it clear.
A common mistake is using ~皿 for items that are clearly in bowls or cups, or forgetting the pronunciation changes with certain numbers. Remember to use appropriate counters for different types of containers.
Yes, Japanese has many counters! For example, ~枚 (mai) for flat, thin objects like paper, and ~個 (ko) for small, general items. ~皿 is specifically for plates and dishes.
もちろん！ (Of course!)
「この料理は二人で三皿食べました。」
(Kono ryōri wa futari de sansara tabemashita.)
(We ate three plates of this dish between the two of us.)
