Which ingredient is included in Aburi Salmon Press?

• A. Mango
• B. Arare pearls
• C. Shiso leaves
• D. Avocado

Answer: (B)

Recognizing the topping that gives Aburi Salmon Press its distinctive texture is the key. Arare pearls are tiny fried rice crackers that add a crisp, popping crunch to the dish, creating a pleasant contrast with the creamy salmon and any smooth elements. That crunchy finish is what this menu item uses, so Arare pearls fit best. The other ingredients—mango would bring sweetness, avocado would add more creaminess, and shiso leaves would introduce a herb note—do not provide that same textural contrast, which is why they aren’t the topping used here.
