Question
I am in a Japanese restaurant and I see my favorite dish, sushi, on the menu. I want to know what the chef recommends. How do I ask the waiter “What sushi do you recommend?” in Japanese?

What sushi do you recommend?
When you want to ask for recommendations at a restaurant, you can use the word “osusume,” which means “recommendation.” This phrase can be your go-to when asking for the best dish or item anywhere in Japan. Simply replace “sushi” with any other dish or drink you might be interested in. The word “nan” means “what,” so the question literally translates to “What is the recommended sushi?” Happy dining and enjoy your meal!
