@togio100 its a more popular belief that in ICJ, the chefs were given a number of possible ingreds, from 3-5. So ingredients provided on the sides of the stadium were meant to compliment at least a majority of the possible secret ingredients. Sometimes chefs' creations were really so bizarre and "not good" even thought they should have had an idea of what the secret ingred would have been.
it was discussed in an interview on some NHK channel.

dammit, i thought that the ingredient might be pre-known, but I was hoping it wasn't
-
the one thing that always blows my mind about this show is how quickly it goes by, even when watching it on youtube here. one of the most enjoyable things about it, definitely.

my bad, it's actually "bai tan" soup which is similar to the japanese "tonkotsu". it's a double-boiled soup with pork bones.
-
pi tan literally means "black egg" i think- otherwise known as century egg =]
-
No Hattori only Azuma called the steaming lol
-
i believe xanton is a basic chicken stock chinese style but im not sure what pitan is
-
what is xanton soup? pitan soup??
okay, I;m assuming you're just kidding around in your comment, but:
1. the Iron Chef and the challenger know a week in advance what the "secret" ingredient is. They do that so they have time to plan and prepare their menu for the challenge.
2. Japan HAS an actual Imperial Family. None of their members actually was a guest on this show.
3. the Original Iron Chef is no longer being filmed in Japan. The Japanese version are only reruns from the early to mid 90s.

It is a shame that the show no longer runs. I wouldve loved to see more americans on the show.
My understanding of the secret ingredient is that both the iron chef and the challenger were given 5 possible choices of ingredient before the taping. They come up with possible menus so the kitchen had the proper ingredients.
