J-Word Play: September ’11

ByPaul Schuble

髪がいっぱいある生き物は何でしょう?

(かみがいっぱいあるいきものはなんでしょう?)


(SELECT THE AREA BELOW TO SEE THE ANSWER)

Answer: おおかみ (wolf)

The riddle asks, “What creature has a lot of hair?” Ok, so we’re thinking about hair words here. What we were looking for was 狼 (おおかみ), wolf. This is because おお can be the reading for 多 (a lot) and 髪 (かみ) means hair. So “a lot of hair.”

Kicchiri Kitchen: Grilled Chicken with Rayu Sauce (ラー油味のチキン)

ByLauren McRae

Taberu-rayu sauce has become quite popular, and you can find it in most supermarkets. Normal rayu is chilli-infused sesame oil, which you will find at most Chinese restaurants or where gyoza are sold. The new taberu-rayu, or edible chilli oil, has a similar oil base (but not as spicy) with herbs and spices added to it. Add some taberu-rayu to chopped vegetables to make a delicious, fresh sauce.
