Quiz in a spring field

Spring Vegetable Quiz (1) [Brain Training] [For Senior Facilities, etc.] Created in 2023 • For Recreation • Spring Vegetables • Fields • May Flowers • June Flowers • Flowers that Evoke Spring

Because plants grow differently depending on the season, there are of course vegetables that thrive in spring.

This is a quiz where we show photos of such springtime vegetables and have participants guess the name of each vegetable.

As more and more types of produce are available in supermarkets year-round, this can also prompt the realization that certain vegetables are actually in season in spring.

If the answer becomes too obvious just by seeing the vegetable itself, another recommended approach is to use photos of the flowers before the vegetables have formed and have participants guess from those.

What foods won’t freeze even if you put them in a household freezer?

People who work with cooking or are interested in it might know this! Here’s a fun fact: What food won’t freeze even when you put it in a typical household freezer? When we think of a freezer, it’s a device for freezing foods and storing frozen items or ice, right? But it turns out there are things that won’t freeze even in a cold freezer.

The answer is miso.

That’s because miso contains a lot of components other than water, such as salt and sugars.

It’s also said that freezing miso helps prevent changes in its flavor and color.

November 2 is Conveyor Belt Sushi Day. In which prefecture is the restaurant located that first opened a conveyor belt sushi shop in the world?

November 22 is widely known as Good Couple Day in Japan, but it’s also Conveyor Belt Sushi Day.

It was established in honor of the birthday of Yoshiaki Shiraishi, the chairman of “Mawaru Genroku Sushi,” who invented conveyor belt sushi.

Although conveyor belt sushi is now familiar to everyone, its origins go back further than you might expect: the first restaurant opened in 1958 in Higashi-Osaka, Osaka Prefecture.

Later, when “Mawaru Genroku Sushi” exhibited at the 1970 Osaka Expo, it became hugely popular, and conveyor belt sushi spread nationwide.
