Important Information about Japanese Cuisine
The biggest problem often faced by foreign tourists when they want to do order in a restaurant or simple depots in Japan is that often the food menu lists that the restaurant own is written only in Japanese. There is no explanation in English about the types of food.
The best solution to overcome this problem is, you are encouraged to visit the restaurant or a depot displaying a display example of plastic replicas of food on their storefront. Typically, the display is also equipped with the price, so you can make it easier to choose.
Well, if you do not find a restaurant or a depot which has a replica display of food in the window, choose a restaurant or a depot that many visitors. You can look around, what kind of food that was ordered by the guests who were there. If there is an event that interests you, you can directly call the waiter and ask for a similar food orders.
Another alternative again is, you order teishoku, or in English known as the “set menu of the day”.
Often even this is the best choice for you because this menu sets the price is quite affordable and are made up of various kinds of food such as a main meal, soup, white rice, snacks and pickles are also unique to Japan. Usually teishoku package was sold at lunch, where many people do not have time to picking out food because of time constraints.
