Perhaps one of the most useful phrases is “kore o kudasai” which means “this please”. You use it while pointing to something in the menu, which is especially easy when they have menus with pictures and also when they have English menus, but when the staff doesn’t really speak or understand much English.

This is excellent thank you. I have made notes on this and your last video. My big problem is me. There are large amounts of things to remember in-context and I'm just over 60. When it comes to language memory, a goldfish will do better than me. As much as I want to learn, I can study say 5 words for an hour, then an hour later, they are gone!

Just wanted to mention that Satoshi's English has improved SO much over the years on YouTube! I am impressed. I try to learn the basics of many languages, but English is probably one of the most confusing. And it's my first language!

I love these Japanese phrases videos! Please continue to make them.😀

Hello, Tabieats! Since I can be mistaken as Japanese based on my looks, I'm often handed the Japanese menu and while my basic Japanese is passable, my Kanji is very limited. So I think the line "Eigo no menu ga arimasu ka" is very useful. :D

Thank you so much for making this! Would it be possible to make a video on how to take an order in Japanese? Or can you recommend such a video on another channel?

I work at a cafe in Boston that is a popular spot for Japanese business workers and tourists, and I’d like to make ordering a little easier for guests who may struggle to order in English。

Such a video would also be useful for English speakers who may be seeking part-time work in Japan!

Thank you for this! We will be in Japan for the whole month of August and this will really help! Love you guys!

[MissTapsit]

Love seeing your Mom, reminds me on mine. Both 87 yrs old., we go thru the same exact things. It cracks me up, to know Mom got a twin ! So nice seeing you taking her shopping and restaurants. You will treasure these episodes, they are heart warming and so real!

[marcopolocucina]

Thank you !! I've checked on so many channels to get info on how to ask for separate bills (I am going in Sept with 3 other individuals), and you're thr only one I have found that gave me everything I needed lol

[AimeeSaid]

I’m loving this series - just in time for our trip in September 😊 I’d really appreciate some tips on language/etiquette around putting your name on the reservation lists outside busy restaurants.

[mavrinnye]

Yes please make that video! I'm traveling to Japan next year and would love to learn more! I have a problem remember these words and phrases so I'm watching your videos everyday!

[lingyanluk]

Thanks for all the tips. Another fantastic and useful video. Wishing both well and happy. Have a wonderful day ❤

[gsr]

Yes guys, more retaurant language and etiquette videos please! Thank you!

[MakitheBEandFOPFan]

I have to say, "Arigato Gozaimasu" to you both! Your videos for Japanese phrases and restaurant edition have really saved the day for my family and I. Currently traveling through Japan. I unfortunately didn't pay much attention when I was in Nijon Gakko as a kid, so this was better than any class I have taken! Definitely a must if you are traveling to Nihon!

I lived in Okinawa twice, for a total of 6 years. My wife and I have been planning a vacation there for months now. We have been watching all of your videos about places to eat there. Even after all the time I lived there, there was still so many things that I hadn't seen and places that I hadn't eat. She absolutely loves watching you guys try new foods! Keep up the great work!

[sxstrngsamurai]

Haha this was so useful! I was just in Japan for my first time and was quite nervous that I didn't know the right phrases to be polite!

[winstonchaychel]

This brushed me up on my Japanese. ありがとうございます🥰💜. I don't know if I'll ever get to visit, but hopefully one day.

[markw]

Great timing, I'm coming in October but I'm starting my research now, and this is exactly what I was looking for.
