Japan Fish Examination Official Website Main Visual The Japan Fish Examination Association (Koto Ward, Tokyo; Representative Director: Masakazu Oyama) will hold the "2026 Japan Fish Examination 'Totoken Online'" from November 3 (Tue, holiday) to November 9 (Mon) this year. [WEB application deadline: October 20 (Tue), 12:00 PM] Established in 2010 as an examination to test knowledge of seafood, the Japan Fish Examination (nickname: Totoken) aims to encourage a "delicious" encounter with fish by helping people rediscover the appeal of fish consumption, which has nurtured the minds and bodies of Japanese people, through exploring the rich fish-eating culture and seasonal flavors across Japan. Re-launched as an "Online Examination" in 2022 after the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been challenged by 37,000 fish fans nationwide, from preschoolers to those in their 80s, over 16 years since its first session in 2010. As this year's event will be the last, to expand the opportunity for the final participation, the examination period for all levels – Level 3 (Beginner), Level 2 (Intermediate), and Level 1 (Advanced) – will be set for one week, from 10:00 AM on November 3 (Tue, holiday), "Good Fish Day," to 12:00 PM on November 9 (Mon), to be held online from home. We hope that participants of the Japan Fish Examination will become "fish storytellers" in their homes, workplaces, schools, and dining establishments, passing on the fish-eating culture of "Fish Nation, Japan."
