Japanese food, some makes us hiccup (5)
I believe the answer is:
sushi
'japanese food' is the definition.
(sushi is a type of Japanese food)
'some makes us hiccup' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some parts of the word are used).
'SUSHI' is hidden within 'makes us hiccup'.
(Other definitions for sushi that I've seen before include "oriental dish" , "Fated" , "rice dishes" , "Japanese rice and raw fish dish" , "Japanese food" .)
