Solution 3
Ask other customers for help or order by pointing to their food.
Other customers may not speak a foreign language, but some will kindly assist you. This can lead to interesting interactions and enhance your travel experience.
Ordering by pointing to other customers' food is easy, but be mindful of etiquette. Staring at others while they eat can be impolite.
Combine Solution 2 and Solution 3. First, order 2-3 types of "Moriawase" and "Kyo no Osusume" and then ask other customers for additional recommendations.
Solution Extra Edition
Use Google Lens to translate Japanese menus. While not perfect, it helps you understand the menu better than not using it at all.
Using Google Lens in Japan, I found it useful for understanding menu items, although it sometimes struggles with unique dish names. It's better than nothing and can help you make more informed choices.
Combine Solution 2 and Solution 3. First, order 2-3 types of "Moriawase" and "Kyo no Osusume" and then ask other customers for additional recommendations.
What Is Izakaya? Experience Authentic Izakaya Culture: Guided by Locals in Hidden Tokyo
Our company offers tours where we take foreign tourists to izakayas. For those wondering, what is izakaya? An izakaya is a type of informal Japanese pub where people gather to enjoy drinks and a variety of dishes. We assist those who struggle with Japanese-only menus by providing interpretation services. Our guides also provide fun explanations of foods and menu items unique to Japan. Would you like to enjoy a fun time at an izakaya with an English-speaking interpreter guide?
The places we take you to are located in the heart of Tokyo, specifically in Kagurazaka, a top gourmet area yet little known to many foreigners.
