Question
I’m traveling to Japan for the first time and I’m worried about finding vegetarian options. How do I ask “Do you have vegetarian dishes?” in a restaurant in Japanese?

Bejitarian no ryouri wa arimasuka?
Do you have vegetarian dishes?
This phrase is handy when dining out in Japan and looking for vegetarian food. “Bejitarian” means “vegetarian,” and “ryouri” means “dishes” or “food.” The word “arimasuka” is a polite way to ask if something is available or if it exists.
If you have specific dietary restrictions, you may also want to use other related words such as “saishoku” (vegetarian) or “yasai” (vegetable).
Remember, not all restaurant staff may understand the term “vegetarian,” so explaining your dietary preferences clearly using these terms can help ensure you find something suitable to eat.
