日本語検定 sample questions (5/31 Update)

I’m kinda happy I got everything right up to part 3 question 1.

I’ma just dig up this thread to add a fun fact about senbei: fortune cookies are senbei.

To be precise, they’re originally a Japanese food named おみくじせんべい. They were originally brought to America by Japanese immigrants. When said immigrants were all rounded up into internment camps during WWII by the American government, the Chinese restaurants next door happily filled the sudden fortune cookie power vacuum, which is how fortune cookies became forever associated with American-Chinese cuisine.
