Model Answers: Let’s Ask Riku


Riku
  1. Sashimi, basashi and takoyaki – or raw fish, raw horse meat and octopus balls. These can be entrees or main courses, though I usually think of takoyaki as more of a snack food. I guess they are all summer foods but they can be eaten at any time of year. They are mostly bland and taste of whatever sauce you eat them with.
  2. Basashi is my favourite – I love raw horse meat! I don’t eat it often but it’s great with ginger and green onion.
  3. Natto. I can’t stand natto! I don’t understand why people eat it! Yes, it’s very nutritious but has a slimy texture, a weird taste and it smells like vomit!
  4. Chirashi zushi. It’s sushi rice served with various toppings. People eat this throughout the year but it is closely associated with Girl’s Day on March 3. The toppings are said to have special meanings, such as shrimp symbolising longevity and beans representing working diligently.
  5. Yes, I do. Chirashi zushi is not so different to other types of sushi. I like sushi very much.
  6. I would suggest they keep it simple to start. They should try okonomiyaki or yakitori, something that most people enjoy that isn’t so unusual. If they are feeling brave, I would tell them to try sea urchin or shirako, something a little more adventurous.
