"Itadakimasu" is a Japanese phrase traditionally said before a meal, translating to "I humbly receive" or "Let's eat." It is a gesture of gratitude for the food, acknowledging both the effort involved in preparing it and the life that it sustains. The meme gained traction online in the 2010s, particularly on platforms like Twitter and Tumblr, where it was used in humorous contexts to celebrate food or over-exaggerate an appreciation for a meal. Often paired with exaggerated expressions or images of people eagerly about to eat, the phrase was adapted as a meme to highlight both cultural appreciation and playful enthusiasm.
