Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Let's order some maguro. Maguro is generally found in any Japanese restaurant, and might also be called toro or akami. Which of these fish does that describe?

Answer: tuna

Until after World War II, tuna did not have the popularity that it does today. Folks did not think it tasted good and vendors would ferment it and smother it in soy sauce to mask the taste.

2. The next dish we order is sake, which of these will now come to our table?

Answer: salmon

Salmon is not a traditional sashimi, but Norway initiated Project Japan in 1980 and made a successful pitch to sell their salmon to Japan. This also increased exports to other sushi and sashimi markets, such as China and Singapore.

3. Which item is a condiment that comes from the grated root of the plant?

Answer: wasabi

Wasabia japonica is a delicate plant that grows in and around clear mountain streams. The stalks, leaves and flowers are also used in cooking, but the grated root is what provides the spicy kick.

4. Our next order includes tobiko (Cheilopogon agoo), the roe of which of these fish?

Answer: Japanese flying fish

The roe pictured is the natural orangish color, but it can also be served black (colored by squid ink) or green (colored by wasabi). Tobiko has a sweet and salty taste and is eaten by itself or as a garnish.

5. The next dish we have is ika, served in translucent strips. Which of these cephalopods does this describe?

Answer: squid

The squid has a smooth surface and delicate taste. The translucency fades over time. One of preparations, ika somen, is to cut the flesh into thin strips to resemble noodles.

6. Gari is a condiment usually pickled in rice vinegar and eaten to clean the palate in between bites. Which of these fits that description?

Answer: ginger

The rhizome of the ginger plant is pickled and this can color the pieces a light pink (pickled ginger could also be colored pink with beet juice). It may be presented on the plate in a small separate pile or even be formed in the shape of a flower.

7. Now we'll order some amaebi, a sweetish tasting dish. Which of these will arrive at our table?

Answer: shrimp

Young male shrimp are usually served butterflied for this dish. As they age, the flavor changes. These hermaphroditic shrimps will eventually transform to female.

8. Hotate is the next dish brought to our table. Seen here in the shell, which of these have we been served?

Answer: scallop

This mollusk has a sweet creamy taste. It can be served with just the abductor muscle or include the viscera.

9. Originally from China, which fermented condiment is used as a dipping sauce?

Answer: soy sauce

Shōyu, or Japanese soy sauce, comes in different varieties. It is generally served in a small container as a dipping sauce and adds a salty flavor.

10. With some trepidation due to its poisonous nature, our next order is fugu. Which of these will be brought to the table?

Answer: pufferfish

The preparation of fugu in Japan requires several years of training and a certification because the poison paralyzes the muscles and has no antidote. However, many Japanese consider the fish a delicacy and prefer just a wee bit of the poison - enough to tingle their lips.
