What is the “niku” that’s sold at a greengrocer, not a butcher?

Let’s try a riddle that’s fun to solve! What is the “niku” that’s sold at a greengrocer, not at a butcher’s shop? When you hear “niku,” you probably think of pork, beef, or chicken—things sold at a butcher’s.

But in this riddle, the “niku” is something sold at a greengrocer.

Hint: the word “niku” is contained within the name of a vegetable! The answer is “ninniku” (garlic).

It’s definitely a kind of “niku” you’d find at a greengrocer!

A mosquito falls into a pond and transforms into a certain vegetable. What vegetable is it?

Here’s a riddle about mosquitoes that show up when it gets warm.

A mosquito falls into a pond and turns into a certain vegetable.

What vegetable is it? Of course, in reality a mosquito wouldn’t instantly turn into a vegetable just by falling into a pond, but since it’s a riddle, let’s think flexibly to find the answer! The hint is the sound it makes when it falls into the pond.

The correct answer is “pumpkin.” It’s a playful riddle based on the Japanese wordplay: a mosquito (ka) goes “bocha” (splash) into the pond—ka + bocha = kabocha (pumpkin).

Did you arrive at the answer cleanly?

What fruit appears when you ring the bell five times?

Here’s a simple riddle about fruit.

What fruit appears when you ring a bell five times? If you think of a common fruit, you might figure it out.

Hint: Try expressing the sound of a bell as onomatopoeia, and you’ll get closer to the answer! The correct answer is “apple.” The key is the bell going “rin-rin” and the number “five” in Japanese.

Apples are familiar to many people—not only can you eat them as they are, but you can also enjoy them as juice, jam, pie, jelly, and more.

Let’s solve a riddle that looks like an official-style problem! It’s a wordplay puzzle using “shou” and “jou.” The display shows “shou × 2” and “jou ÷ 2.” The hints are that it suggests a bustling crowd, and that “shou” is doubled while “jou” is halved.

The answer is “shoubai hanjou,” meaning “prosperous business.” It makes sense if you think of it as “shou” multiplied and “jou” halved—“shou-bai” and “han-jou.” It’s a perfect brain teaser with clever wordplay, and once you get it, it’s quite satisfying.

I made one sheet of paper into ten without tearing or cutting it. How did I do it?

It’s a simple riddle whose answer you can figure out by recalling everyday actions.

I turned one piece of paper into ten without tearing or cutting it.

How did I do it? The hint is something related to money.

Think of a 10,000-yen bill or a 1,000-yen bill.

The answer is “exchange.” For example, you might exchange one 10,000-yen bill for ten 1,000-yen bills in various situations.

The number of pieces increases without tearing or cutting, right? It’s a simple yet humorous riddle.
