Five hundred and ninety-nine words were obtained from an open-ended questionnaire distributed to ++0 food specialists in Sendai, northern area (,/ individuals), Tokyo, central area (,3), Osaka, western area (-,) and Kagoshima, southern area (-*). Out of these /33 words --, terms were selected in a ,-day roundtable discussion made by . researchers. To the --, terms added were 3. terms that have been collected from dictionaries, technical books on food texture and research papers about food texture. Thus, a list of .,0 terms was presented to // selected assessors who had some experience of research on texture. They were asked whether these terms correctly expressed food texture. Then the data were evaluated by . experts who had been engaged in research on food texture or rheology for a long time. As a result of deletion and addition, ../ terms were obtained as a texture descriptive language. About 1*ῌ of the terms are onomatopoeic words. This shows onomatopoeic words play an important role in texture description in Japanese. Compared with the data taken from questionnaires in +302, some new onomatopoeic words such as "mochi-mochi” and "puru-puru” are included in the list.
