Question
I’m planning to visit Japan and would love to experience authentic Japanese cuisine. How can I respectfully ask a local for their favorite Japanese dish in Japanese?

おすすめの日本料理（にほんりょうり）は何（なん）ですか。
Osusume no Nihonryouri wa nan desuka?
What is your recommended Japanese dish?
This phrase is perfect for asking locals for their recommendations on Japanese cuisine. Osusume no means “recommended”; Nihonryouri means “Japanese dish”; and nan desuka means “what is?” or “what are?” Use this phrase to show interest in the local culture and cuisine respectfully.
Feel free to use this expression in restaurants or when talking to locals to discover some hidden gems in Japanese cuisine!
