Question
I’m planning to travel to Japan and want to experience local cuisine but I’m vegetarian. How do I ask “Do you have vegetarian options?” in Japanese when I visit a restaurant?

Bejitarian no menyuu wa arimasu ka?
Do you have vegetarian options?
Dining in Japan can be an exciting experience, and it’s helpful to know how to inquire about special dietary preferences. The term “bejitarian” is used to mean “vegetarian” in Japanese. “Menyuu” refers to the menu, and “arimasu ka” is utilized to ask whether something is available.
Use this phrase to ensure that you can enjoy meals that suit your dietary choices while exploring Japanese cuisine. This expression can be adjusted for other dietary needs by replacing “bejitarian” with terms such as “gurutofurii” (gluten-free) or “mu-nyuu” (dairy-free) as needed.
