Question
I’m planning to visit Japan and I love trying out local cuisines. I’m particularly interested in ramen but I’m not sure how to ask for recommendations at a restaurant. How do I say, “Can you recommend a good ramen dish?” in Japanese?

Can you recommend a good ramen dish?
Japanese cuisine is renowned worldwide, and ramen is one of the most beloved dishes amongst both locals and tourists. When asking for recommendations, use the phrase “oishii raamen,” which means “delicious ramen,” followed by “o osusume shite itadakemasu ka,” which means “can you recommend?”.
This phrase can be adapted to other dishes by replacing “raamen” with the dish of your choice. Enjoy exploring the diverse flavors of Japan!
