鯛たいも一人ひとりはうまからず

expression

good food requires good company; even sea bream doesn't taste good eaten alone

Proverb emphasizing that even the finest things are less enjoyable without someone to share them with. The literal meaning is that even sea bream, a prized fish, does not taste good when eaten alone.

• 「鯛たいも一人ひとりはうまからず」というから、せっかくのごちそうも一人ひとりでは味あじ気きないね。

  As the saying goes, 'even sea bream doesn't taste good eaten alone,' so a feast is no fun by yourself.
