Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. This dish is savoury and has vegetable and meat toppings. Sometimes it is garnished with mayonnaise and fish flakes. It looks like a pizza. Do you know what it is?

Answer: Okonomiyaki

The word 'okonomi' means 'as you like' and the word 'yaki' means 'grill'. It was first made sometime around 200 years ago. It was more basic than nowadays and the base recipe was only made out of flour, spice, water and cabbage. Now it has lots of variety and each area has its own special style. Osaka okonomiyaki has a thicker and richer taste, and Tokyo has a thinner and healthier okonomiyaki (a.k.a monjayaki).

2. Now for a drink- this is an energy drink and soft drink that comes in a blue and white can (also comes in bottle or powder form) that has a light, sweet and refreshing taste.

Answer: Pocari Sweat

This is a very popular drink and is seen in books, movies and mangas. It is manufactured by the Otsuka Pharmaceutical Company.

Answer: Somen

Somen is made out of wheat flour and is a popular Japanese treat to keep cool. It can also be served in wintertime with a hot soup called 'nyumen'. The light dipping broth that comes with the somen is usually flavoured with welsh onion, ginger or myoga.

Answer: CalorieMate

First released in 1983 by the Otsuka Pharmaceutical Company. It comes in cheese, cheesecake, chocolate, fruit, vegetable and potato flavours.

Answer: Makizushi
