(りょうしつ)

りょうしつ
noun, adjective-na, adjective-no
good quality, high quality
1. good quality, high quality, fine quality
Of superior quality. Used to describe materials, products, content, or services that are of a high standard. Functions both as a noun and as a modifier with な or の.
良質(りょうしつ)睡眠(すいみん)をとりたい。
I want to get good quality sleep.
この地域(ちいき)良質(りょうしつ)(みず)(めぐ)まれている。

良質(りょうしつ)のたんぱく(しつ)(ふく)食品(しょくひん)意識的(いしきてき)(えら)んでいる。

USAGE:
Can be used with either な or の as a modifier: 良質(りょうしつ)素材(そざい) or 良質(りょうしつ)素材(そざい) (high-quality material). Both are natural, though な is slightly more common.

The opposite is 粗悪(そあく) (inferior quality) or 低品質(ていひんしつ) (low quality). Compared to 高品質(こうひんしつ) (high-quality), 良質(りょうしつ) sounds slightly warmer and less technical.
