Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Masago is what?

Answer: smelt eggs

Smelt eggs are very tiny and bright orange. They are sometimes served with a raw quail egg yolk on top. They are also used in many sushi rolls for their beautiful color and exceptional flavor.

2. Maguro is what?

Answer: tuna

Tuna seems to be the most popular choice at the sushi bar.

3. Unagi is what?

Answer: freshwater eel

Eel is my absolute favorite!

4. There is raw fish in the California roll.

Answer: False

There is not any raw fish in the California roll. It is made with cooked crab, avocado and cucumber surrounded by seaweed and sushi rice.

5. Gari is what?

Answer: pickled ginger

Ginger is used as a condiment with sushi.

6. Nori is what?

Answer: seaweed

Without the seaweed and the rice, there is only sashimi, the raw fish itself. You must have seaweed and rice to make most sushi and most sushi rolls.

7. What is salmon roe?

Answer: Ikura

Salmon roe is actually salmon caviar. Sometimes the sushi chef will use just the single eggs for eyes on the caterpillar or dragon roll.

8. Wasabi is what?

Answer: Japanese horseradish

Wasabi is also a condiment for sushi, but go easy, it's the hot stuff!

9. Unagi is served raw.

Answer: False

Unagi, freshwater eel, is always cooked. It is my favorite. It is usually always served with a wonderful eel sauce. A new roll at my sushi bar is the Kamikazi roll, which is a spicy tuna roll wrapped in eel, with eel sauce! Yum!

10. Edamame is what?

Answer: steamed and salted soy beans

Kids love these! They are very good to prepare at home yourself. Look for the fresh soybeans in the produce section. Incredibly yummy snack that is very nutritional.

11. There is sake, the rice wine beverage, and there is sake which is what?

Answer: salmon

Sake is the word used for both sake the salmon, and sake the rice wine. They are both pronounced the same, sock-ee.

12. It is ok to drink straight from your soup bowl at the sushi bar.

Answer: True

It is customary at sushi bars to always drink soup right from the bowl or cup. Asking for spoons and forks is a dead give away that you are a real novice, but can be provided if asked for. Usually 2 chopsticks is all the tableware you will need at the sushi bar.

13. Tako is what?

Answer: octopus

Tako is always a cooked item.

14. Sake must always be served hot.

Answer: false

Typically you are served hot sake, which you pour into very tiny cups and drink it hot. But there are quite a few sakes served chilled or cold. There is even a sake martini you can order at some bars. Also, sake the salmon used in sashimi and sushi in not usually served hot. Some chefs do sear the edges of salmon or albacore sometimes, but just the edges.

15. "Ichiban" is a brand of what?

Answer: beer

Celebrate sushi! Have a sake bomber next time you go. "Ichiban" beer and sake shot!
