Question
I’m visiting Japan soon and I want to experience traditional Japanese dining. However, I’m not familiar with the etiquette. How do I ask, “Could you teach me the proper way to eat this?” in Japanese?

Kono ryoori no tabekata o oshiete moraemasuka?
Could you teach me the proper way to eat this dish?
Dining in Japan can be a unique experience, and it’s a good idea to learn the proper etiquette. The phrase “ryoori no tabekata” translates to “the way to eat this dish.” By adding “oshiete moraemasuka” (could you teach me?), you are politely asking for guidance.
Remember, “oshiete” means “teach” or “show,” so you can use this expression in various situations when you need help understanding or learning something new in Japan.
