Question
I’m planning a trip to Japan and I’d love to try some local sushi. What’s the best way to ask for the chef’s recommendation in a sushi restaurant in Japanese?

おすすめの寿司（すし）をお願いします。
Osusume no sushi o onegaishimasu.
Could you please recommend some sushi?
This phrase is very handy when you’re at a sushi restaurant and unsure of what to order. Osusume means “recommendation” and onegaishimasu is “please”. By saying osusume no sushi o onegaishimasu, you’re politely asking the chef or staff for their sushi recommendations. If you’re feeling adventurous, just sit at the counter and enjoy the chef’s choice! Remember, every region in Japan might offer different specialties, so it’s a great way to try something local and fresh.
