筏師菓子 Explanation: In order to use Japanese characters, and avoiding the usual loan words, 筏 and 桴 ("ikada") mean raft and お菓子 or 菓子 mean sweet or perhaps afters. "What" is 何 ("Nani") So some cobination of these... Okashi puns with Okasii (with an extra "i") meanind "strange" or "funny." And Ikada is close to "ikana" which means which or what, so you might go for 筏菓子 Ikada kashi which sounds a bit playful perhaps. I prefer 筏師菓子 "Ikadashi kashi" (筏師 = rafter) "rafters desert", since it sounds a bit like 如何わしい菓子 which means strange desert and it sounds good. |
