Dogmatic Opinion
In the sense of ②, the word “Doppuri” is used.
“ZUBU-ZUBU”, there is an image of sinking into the meat with a sound and
there is the sonic sensation of the tip of the long, thin blade biting deep into the meat.
In addition to the fact that one seldom encounters a situation like ①, the other meanings are often substituted by other words, an expression that is likely to become obsolete in the future.
