Collocations
朝ご飯 (asagohan, breakfast)朝食 (choushoku, breakfast — formal)朝飯 (asameshi, breakfast — rough/male)ブレックファースト (burekkufaasuto, English-loan, rare)和朝食 (wachoushoku, Japanese-style breakfast)
Mnemonic
朝ご飯 asagohan — 朝 (morning) + ご飯 (rice/meal). Japanese meal-word register: 朝飯 (asameshi, rough masculine) < 朝ご飯 (everyday default) < 朝食 (choushoku, formal/news/menu) < ブレックファースト (English loan, hotels). Maps neatly to Korean achimbap / achimsiksa / josik. Traditional 和朝食 (wachoushoku) consists of rice + miso soup + grilled fish + tamagoyaki + pickles + nori — the canonical ryokan or traditional restaurant menu. One word compresses Japanese food culture, register system, and tourism industry.
