Question
I’m planning to visit Japan soon and want to try traditional Japanese food. I’ve heard about a dish called “Kaiseki” but I’m not sure what it includes. How do I ask “What dishes are included in the Kaiseki meal?” in Japanese?

What dishes are included in the Kaiseki meal?
Kaiseki is a traditional multi-course Japanese dinner that showcases seasonal ingredients and a variety of cooking techniques. To ask for the specifics of what dishes are included, you use [donna ryoori ga fukumareteimasu ka], which means “what dishes are included?”
Here, “kaiseki ryoori” refers to the traditional meal, “donna” means “what kind of,” “ryoori” means “dishes,” and “fukumareteimasu ka” asks “are included?” This question will help you understand the components of your meal and maybe even discover new favorite dishes during your culinary adventure in Japan!
