Question
During my holiday in Osaka, I have been served a delicious pancake in a restaurant that caught my attention. It’s very different from the pancakes I’ve tried in my country. It is served with various toppings like whipped cream, ice cream, and fruits. How do I ask the waiter “What kind of pancake is this?” in Japanese?

Kore wa donna pankeeki desuka?
What kind of pancake is this?
This is a very useful question when you are interested in understanding the food you’ve been served in Japan. You can replace pankeeki (pancake) with any type of food you want to ask about. Donna is used to ask what kind of, and kore wa means “this is”. So the whole phrase will be “kore wa donna pankeeki desuka?” which means “What kind of pancake is this?”
Feel free to use this expression “kore wa donna food desuka” in other food-related situations.
