A Quiz on Difficult Kanji Related to Food

When you go into a Chinese restaurant, of course there’s a menu, but many items like ramen and gyoza are written in katakana, right? It’s the same with sushi toppings—things like aji or sanma aren’t written in kanji.
Even for foods we eat often and see all the time, when they’re suddenly written in kanji, we often can’t read them.
So how about everyone trying their hand at difficult-to-read kanji? Even graduates of famous universities or former teachers might struggle quite a bit! There are lots of quizzes uploaded on video sites, so be sure to make good use of them.
In conclusion
There are many recreational activities for seniors, but among them, brain-training exercises that involve figuring out how to read difficult kanji are an effective way to improve cognitive function and boost concentration.
For older adults, this activity not only serves as brain training but can also lead to better eating habits.
