残り物
When you have food left over from a meal, that's called 残り物 (nokorimono) in Japanese. It literally means 'remaining thing.' So if you cook a big dinner and there's still some food after everyone has eaten, that's 残り物.
You can use 残り物 to talk about any kind of food that's left. For example, if you have some rice left from dinner, you could call it ご飯の残り物 (gohan no nokorimono), or 'leftover rice.'
It's a very common and practical word to know, especially if you're living in Japan and cooking for yourself or others. It’s also often used in a positive way, like when you’re looking forward to eating tasty leftovers the next day!
When you have food remaining after a meal that you intend to eat later, you can refer to it as 残り物 (のこりもの).
This term is very common in everyday conversation, especially when talking about dinner or lunch.
For example, if you pack your lunch for work and it's something you had for dinner the night before, you would likely call it 残り物.
It's a practical word to know for discussing food and meal planning in Japanese.
§ What 残り物 means
Let's talk about a very practical Japanese word: 残り物 (のこりもの). This word is super common and you'll hear it a lot in everyday conversations. Simply put, 残り物 means 'leftovers' or 'the things that are left over'. While it can apply to anything that's left, it's most frequently used for food – specifically, food that's left after a meal.
- DEFINITION
- Leftovers from a meal.
Think about it: after you've had a big dinner, there's often some food remaining, right? That's 残り物. It's the food you didn't finish, and you might save it for later or throw it away (though hopefully you save it!).
§ When to use 残り物
You use 残り物 in situations where you're talking about food that was prepared but not fully consumed. It implies that the food was part of a larger quantity and now there's just a portion left. Here are some common scenarios:
- When you're packing food for lunch the next day.
- When you're discussing what to do with the extra food from a party.
- When you're trying to decide what to eat and someone suggests eating what's already in the fridge.
It's a straightforward word. You don't need to overthink it. If you have food left, it's 残り物. It's a noun, so you can treat it like any other noun in a sentence.
今日の夕食は、昨日の残り物を食べましょう。(Let's eat yesterday's leftovers for dinner tonight.)
冷蔵庫に残り物があるよ。(There are leftovers in the fridge.)
§ Why it's useful to know
Knowing 残り物 is practical because it comes up so often in daily life. Imagine you're staying with a Japanese family or roommates. If they ask you about dinner and mention 残り物, you'll immediately understand that they're suggesting to eat what's already prepared and saved. This word helps you participate in very common, everyday conversations about meals and food management.
It's also useful when you're at a restaurant or a party and you want to ask if you can take home the food you didn't finish. While you might use a more direct phrase like 「持ち帰りできますか？」 (Can I take this to go?), understanding that those remaining items are 残り物 is key to grasping the context.
The kanji for 残り物 are:
- 残 (のこ): This kanji means 'to remain' or 'to be left'.
- 物 (もの): This kanji means 'thing' or 'object'.
So, literally, it's 'remaining thing'. Makes sense, right? It's a straightforward combination that clearly communicates its meaning.
So next time you've got some food left on your plate or in your fridge, you know the word for it: 残り物! Practice using it and it will quickly become a natural part of your Japanese vocabulary.
§ “残り物” at Home: Everyday Leftovers
The most common place you'll hear “残り物” (nokorimono) is in a home setting, talking about food. It's a very practical word for discussing what's left after a meal, especially when planning for future meals or deciding what to do with extra food.
- DEFINITION
- Leftovers from a meal.
今日の夕食は昨日の残り物だよ。
Translation hint: "Today's dinner is yesterday's leftovers."
冷蔵庫に残り物がいっぱいある。
Translation hint: "There are a lot of leftovers in the fridge."
- This phrase is straightforward and frequently used in daily conversation among family members or roommates.
- It can be used both as a general term for "leftovers" or to specify a particular dish if the context is clear.
§ “残り物” in a Professional Context (Limited)
While “残り物” primarily refers to food, its usage in work or school settings is less direct and more often metaphorical or specific to food-related situations. You wouldn't typically use it to describe leftover work or assignments.
社員食堂の残り物を減らす方法を考えよう。
Translation hint: "Let's think about ways to reduce leftovers in the company cafeteria."
§ “残り物” in the News or Public Discourse (Rare)
You are unlikely to encounter “残り物” in formal news reports or public discourse unless the topic is specifically about food waste, school lunches, or restaurant practices. It's generally too informal for broad news coverage.
学校給食での残り物が問題となっている。
Translation hint: "Leftovers from school lunches are becoming a problem."
- Even in these cases, the term might be used in a direct quote or in an article discussing food waste from a more personal or practical angle, rather than a highly formal one.
- More formal terms or descriptions would be used for broader economic or societal issues not directly tied to individual meals.
§ General Usage Tips for “残り物”
Remember that “残り物” is very much focused on food. While some words in Japanese can have broader meanings, this one is quite specific. Using it correctly will make your Japanese sound natural.
昨日の残り物をお弁当にしようか？
Translation hint: "Shall we make yesterday's leftovers into a bento (lunchbox)?"
§ Understanding 残り物 (nokorimono)
Let's talk about 残り物 (nokorimono). This word is straightforward: it means 'leftovers from a meal'. It's super common in everyday conversation, so it's a good one to add to your vocabulary.
- DEFINITION
- Leftovers from a meal.
You'll often hear it when someone's talking about what they're going to eat for lunch the next day, or if there's too much food after a big dinner. It specifically refers to food that's been prepared but not eaten.
§ Examples of 残り物 in Use
昨日の残り物を温めて食べます。
Hint: I'll heat up and eat yesterday's leftovers.
残り物は冷蔵庫に入れておいてください。
Hint: Please put the leftovers in the refrigerator.
今日の夕食は残り物でいいですか。
Hint: Is it okay to have leftovers for dinner tonight?
§ Similar Words and When to Use 残り物
While 残り物 (nokorimono) specifically means 'leftovers from a meal', there are other words in Japanese that can sometimes be confused with it or used in similar contexts. Let's break them down:
- 余り物 (amarimono): This is a broader term for 'leftovers' or 'remnants' of anything, not just food. You could talk about '余り物 (amarimono)' of fabric, materials, or even things left over from a sale. It's more general.
- 残飯 (zanpan): This word means 'table scraps' or 'food waste'. It has a negative connotation and is usually used to refer to food that is discarded, not eaten. You wouldn't typically say you're eating '残飯 (zanpan)' for lunch unless you're being humorous or self-deprecating.
- 食べ残し (tabenokoshi): This refers to 'leftover food' that someone specifically didn't finish. It implies that the food was served and then left uneaten. For instance, if a child didn't finish their vegetables, those would be 食べ残し (tabenokoshi). While often related to food that's uneaten, it can sometimes be used to mean food that's simply 'left over' from a meal that wasn't fully consumed.
So, when should you use 残り物 (nokorimono)?
Use 残り物 (nokorimono) when you're talking about food that was cooked or prepared for a meal and there's some left over that you plan to eat later. It carries no negative connotation and is simply a practical term for food intended for consumption.
Here's a quick summary to keep it straight:
- 残り物 (nokorimono): Good, edible leftovers from a meal.
- 余り物 (amarimono): General leftovers, not just food.
- 残飯 (zanpan): Food waste, scraps, something to be thrown away.
- 食べ残し (tabenokoshi): Food that was served but not finished.
Le savais-tu ?
The concept of 'mottainai' (勿体無い), which expresses regret concerning waste, is deeply ingrained in Japanese culture. Reusing 'nokorimono' aligns perfectly with this value, making it common and accepted to eat leftovers.

Famille de mots
Noms
Comment l'utiliser
When referring to food that is left over from a meal, use 残り物 (nokorimono). It specifically implies food that has been prepared and consumed, with some remaining. You can use it in phrases like 夕食の残り物 (yuushoku no nokorimono), meaning 'dinner leftovers'.
A common mistake is to confuse 残り物 with 残高 (zandaka) or 残り (nokori). 残高 refers to a financial balance or remaining amount of money. 残り can refer to any remaining quantity of something, but 残り物 is specifically for food leftovers. For example, if you have some cake left, you could say ケーキの残り (kēki no nokori), but if it's cake from a meal that was served, ケーキの残り物 (kēki no nokorimono) would also be appropriate. However, for a more general 'remaining amount' of non-food items, 残り is preferred. For example, 時間の残り (jikan no nokori) for 'remaining time'.
Astuces
Basic Meaning of Nokorimono
「残り物」 (nokorimono) literally translates to "remaining things." When talking about food, it specifically means leftovers from a meal.
Common Usage of Nokorimono
This word is most frequently used in the context of food. You'll hear it often when people are discussing what to do with extra food after a meal. For example, 「夕食の残り物」 (yuushoku no nokorimono) means dinner leftovers.
Using Nokorimono in a Sentence
Here’s a simple example: 「今日の昼ごはんは残り物だよ。」 (Kyou no hirugohan wa nokorimono da yo.) This means "Today's lunch is leftovers."
Asking About Leftovers
If you want to ask if there are any leftovers, you can say: 「残り物はある？」 (Nokorimono wa aru?) which means "Are there any leftovers?"
Offering Leftovers
To offer leftovers to someone, you might say: 「残り物だけど、食べる？」 (Nokorimono dakedo, taberu?) meaning "It's leftovers, but do you want to eat it?"
Japanese Culture and Leftovers
In Japanese culture, it's common to finish all the food served. However, leftovers are still a practical part of daily life, especially for lunch the next day.
Grammar Note: No Particle
When 「残り物」 is the subject or object, it functions like any other noun. No special particles are needed. For example: 「残り物を温める。」 (Nokorimono o atatameru.) means "To heat up the leftovers."
Don't Confuse with "Amari"
While 「余り」 (amari) can also mean "leftover" or "excess," 「残り物」 specifically refers to leftovers from a meal. 「余り」 is more general and can refer to any remaining quantity.
More Advanced Usage of Nokorimono
Beyond food, 「残り物」 can sometimes refer to other remaining items, but this is less common. For example, 「売れ残り物」 (urenokorimono) means unsold goods. Stick to food context for now.
Practice Saying Nokorimono
Try saying 「残り物」 (nokorimono) out loud several times. Focus on the pronunciation: no-ko-ri-mo-no. The more you say it, the more natural it will feel to use it when talking about leftovers.
Origine du mot
Comes from the verb 残る (nokoru), meaning 'to remain' or 'to be left over,' and 物 (mono), meaning 'thing' or 'object.' So, literally, 'remaining thing.'
Sens originel : A thing that is left over.
JaponicContexte culturel
In Japan, it's very common and perfectly acceptable to eat leftovers, often packed for lunch the next day (bento) or reheated for another meal. There's no negative stigma attached to 'nokorimono'; in fact, it's seen as a practical way to avoid waste, reflecting the cultural value of <i>mottainai</i>. Many Japanese dishes are also specifically designed to be delicious as leftovers, like curries or stews, which can often taste even better the next day.
