See the answer
Mr./Ms. Sato
First place is Mr./Ms. Sato. Next, second is Mr./Ms. Suzuki, third is Mr./Ms. Takahashi, fourth is Mr./Ms. Tanaka, and fifth is Mr./Ms. Ito. So there are more people named Takahashi than Tanaka, huh! I’ve heard the surname Sato is most common in eastern Japan.

See the answer
Kagawa Prefecture
The smallest area in Japan is Kagawa Prefecture, with Osaka in second place, Tokyo in third, and Okinawa in fourth. Isn’t it surprising that big cities like Osaka and Tokyo rank so high? Of course, the largest area is Hokkaido!
Which blood type is most common among Japanese people?
- Type A
- Type B
- Blood type O
See the answer
Type A
About 40% of Japanese people are type A, followed by type O at around 30%, type B at about 20%, and type AB at roughly 10%. These figures are based on Japanese statistics, and they differ from country to country. In Central and South America, most people are type O, and in Venezuela and Colombia, it is said that only type O exists. That’s surprising, isn’t it?
Why do chocolate bars have grooves?
- To make it easy to break by hand
- To make it look beautiful
- To cool and set/solidify evenly
See the answer
To cool and set/solidify evenly
The grooves on a chocolate bar may seem like they’re there to make it easy to break cleanly, but they’re actually designed to help the chocolate cool and set evenly. Without the grooves, the chocolate reportedly doesn’t cool well. Thanks to these grooves, the flavor and aroma can also be perceived more fully.
