Question
I’m traveling in Japan and I’d love to try some authentic Japanese food. I don’t read Japanese, so how do I ask the restaurant staff, “Do you have an English menu?” in Japanese?

英語(えいご)のメニューはありますか。
Eego no menyuu wa arimasuka?
Do you have an English menu?
This expression will be helpful when you visit restaurants in Japan and need an English menu to understand the options available. The term “eego” means “English,” and “menyuu” is a loanword from “menu.” The phrase “arimasuka” is used to ask if something is available or exists.
This question can be modified to suit other needs by replacing “menyuu” with whatever item you’re looking for, making it a versatile phrase for various language situations during your travel in Japan.
