Question
I am traveling to Japan for the first time and want to experience authentic Japanese cuisine. I am trying to find a good sushi restaurant. How do I ask hotel staff “Can you recommend a good sushi restaurant?” in Japanese?

Oishii sushi no mise o suisen shite moraemasu ka?
Can you recommend a good sushi restaurant?
This expression will help you ask for recommendations from locals or hotel staff effectively. The word oishii means “delicious” or “good”, sushi no mise means “sushi restaurant”, and suisen shite moraemasu ka? means “can you recommend?”. By adjusting the type of cuisine, you can use this phrase to find recommended places for other foods as well. Enjoy discovering delicious Japanese cuisine!
