The History of Tempura
When many people think about traditional Japanese dishes, sushi, soba or tempura
jump to mind. However, most of these people don’t realize that, in fact, tempura is not
originally from Japan. Before the Edo period, there was a lot of trade and cultural
exchange between Japan and the few European nations whose explorers had travelled
to Asia. A group of Portuguese traders who lived in Nagasaki in Kyushu introduced amethod of deep-frying food which used a liquid called ‘batter’, made from flour and eggs,
to cover the food before it was fried in oil. This flour and egg mixture became crisp in
the hot oil. The Japanese created the word ‘tempura’ from the Latin word ‘tempora’,
which they heard the traders say. It means ‘time’, and refers to the four times in a year
when Catholic people had to stop eating meat and so they fried vegetables such as green
beans to make them more interesting.
As we know it, Japanese tempura was developed in the Edo period, as ‘yatai’, or foodcart culture became more popular. The batter was made lighter, and it was a custom
to serve the deep-fried food, which could include vegetables, mushrooms or fish, with adipping sauce and grated daikon radish. Tempura became a popular snack at the foodcarts which could be found along the rivers in Edo or present-day Tokyo. It had to becooked outside because the danger of fire in old wooden Japanese houses meant thatcooking with oil at home was banned. Eventually, tempura moved on from being a fastfood snack and became the high-class cuisine we know today.
As a Japanese dish, it has become popular all over the world, although for many
people, its colorful and interesting history is unknown. By learning about its origins
as a Portuguese snack which was eaten in place of meat, we can also learn about theearly exchange of technology and ideas between Europe and Japan before Japan closed
its doors to the outside world in the Edo period.
Q1)

According to the passage,A) only Portuguese traders journeyed to Japan before the Edo period.
B) a lot of European nations made the trip to Japan before the Edo period.
C) some Portuguese traders settled in Nagasaki.
D) the European explorers were only interested in Japan.
