Question
I’m traveling to Japan for the first time and want to try authentic Japanese sushi. However, I have some dietary restrictions and prefer not to eat raw fish. How can I ask the sushi chef, “Do you have any sushi without raw fish?” in Japanese?

Namazakana nashi no sushi wa arimasuka?
Do you have any sushi without raw fish?
When visiting a sushi restaurant, it’s helpful to know how to express your dietary preferences. “Namazakana” means “raw fish,” and “nashi” means “without.” By combining them, you can politely inquire if there are sushi options available without raw fish.
Feel free to use this expression to accommodate your dietary needs while exploring the unique flavors of Japanese cuisine. Enjoy your sushi experience!
