You are learning basic comparisons: you will read the scene it happens in, learn 10 words and phrases, take apart the pattern behind them (basic comparisons with より), hear them in a conversation, rehearse them, and finish by saying one thing out loud to be graded.
An izakaya in Shinjuku, Tokyo — comparing dishes side by side. Grilled fish versus simmered fish. Cold tofu versus hot tofu. Every order is a comparison.
The izakaya in Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho — "Memory Lane" — is barely wide enough for ten people. The menu is handwritten on wooden boards. Everything is grilled, simmered, or raw. The trick is knowing what to compare.
「焼き魚と煮魚、どちらがいいですか？」 The stranger asked. 「焼き魚は煮魚よりおいしいと思います。」 He preferred grilled. The char, the crisp skin.
Cold tofu arrived alongside hot tofu. Side by side. 「冷やっこより湯豆腐のほうが好きです。」 In winter, warm wins.
「この店は隣の店より安いです。」 This place was cheaper than next door. And better. 「でも、隣の店のほうがビールはおいしいです。」 But the beer was better next door. Trade-offs.
「今日の刺身は昨日よりずっと新鮮です。」 Today's sashimi was much fresher. Some days you get lucky.
