Question
I am planning a trip to Japan and would love to try some authentic sushi. However, I don’t eat raw fish. How do I ask if there are any sushi options without raw fish in Japanese?

生魚（なまざかな）ではない寿司（すし）がありますか。
Namazakana dewa nai sushi ga arimasu ka?
Are there any sushi options without raw fish?
This phrase will be particularly useful for those who want to enjoy sushi but prefer not to eat raw fish. Namazakana means “raw fish”, dewa nai means “not”, and arimasu ka indicates a question for availability.
In sushi restaurants, there are often sushi options made with cooked ingredients like tamago (egg), ebi (shrimp), or vegetables. You can use this expression to inquire about these alternatives. Enjoy your sushi adventure!
