Mnemonic

Through the fog you see the shape of a mythical kirin (きり). You can only see the outline through the fog, but you know it's there.

You walk toward the kirin through the fog. When you get close, the image before you becomes clear: it's two cans of Kirin beer on a slide. Next time you see fog, keep your eyes peeled for the real kirin in the kiri.
