Question
I’m traveling to Japan for the first time and I want to experience the local cuisine. I’ve heard a lot about “sushi,” but I’m not sure what types are popular. How do I ask a local or restaurant staff “What kinds of sushi do you recommend?” in Japanese?

What kinds of sushi do you recommend?
This question is a great way to get recommendations from locals or restaurant staff about the types of sushi popular in their region or establishment. “Osusume” means “recommendation,” and “sushi wa nan desuka” translates to “what kind of sushi.”
You can use “osusume no” for other food items or activities by simply replacing “sushi” with whatever you’re interested in. For example, “Osusume no resutoran wa nan desuka?” means “What restaurants do you recommend?”
