Slippery Jack mushroom, also known as the sticky bun. Listed as edible but some people do have allergic reactions to it.
Ayu are sweet smelt or freshwater trout. They are sometimes caught by cormorants and regurgitated. We attended a kaiseki ryori in Kyoto one May, the right season for these fish. One of the courses consisted of ayu. They were lightly fried and served whole, unlike most of the things which appeared in front of us that night, including raw sea cucumber and something unspeakable called junsai. The late season ayu is known as ochiayu and is considered the best.
An indeterminate variety of tomato with pink, medium-large, round fruit. The vigorous plants are quite disease resistant and productive. I have seen references to another Japanese tomato called Oridoko. One of these is wrong, but searches on the web show a similar number (very few) of hits under both names. I suspect that this difference will persist though I am pretty certain they are the same tomato.
