It's handy to carry around while traveling. I took it with me on my trip to Oita. Haha.

I bought the e-book and keep it on my Galaxy Tab. Today I happened to look at the sushi vocabulary and was surprised to find many incorrect kanji. Tuna was labeled with the kanji for mackerel, sea bream with the kanji for horse mackerel, and yellowtail with the kanji for bonito. I only looked briefly, but unfortunately these were the words I came across, and it undermined my trust in the book.

I hear that as many as seven million people from Korea visited Japan just last year. Most places are within a three-hour flight, so perhaps it is the closest and least daunting overseas destination. There are many reasons to travel, and delicious food is surely one of the major reasons people go to Japan. This book divides the food you can try there into 18 categories, each covered in its own chapter. The menus include both Japanese writing and Korean pronunciation, so even someone who knows no

I used to find it hard to order food when traveling in Japan, but after mastering this book, I have no worries. It's small, so it's easy to carry while traveling. It introduces a variety of foods and explains how to eat them, so now I can order and know how to enjoy the dishes too!

I thought a book about reading Japanese food menus would just list vocabulary, but it also explains types of food, how they are prepared, what they taste like, and how to enjoy them. That deepens your understanding of the dishes. It teaches simple sentences for listening and speaking, and recommends dishes too, so it's a good book to read before traveling and take along. If you want to order what you want without getting confused at restaurants in Japan, I recommend giving it a read.

When I travel in Japan, there are so many delicious foods, but because I don't know Japanese, I often struggle to order or miss out on dishes I wanted to try. Reading Japanese Menus is a small, handy book, easy to take along. It organizes many foods by category, so it's convenient to look things up at a restaurant, convenience store, or cafe. The Japanese pronunciation is clearly written, so you can read the book aloud or point to it and show it to a staff member. The photos and explanations

Anyone in Korea who studies English, French, Japanese, German, or another foreign language has probably experienced this: you think you know the grammar and vocabulary, but keep making mistakes when you actually try to speak or write. Some people become so afraid of not understanding a native speaker that they avoid conversations altogether. I have long wanted to travel abroad, talk with locals, and learn about their food and culture, but the first step in language learning is having the

While studying Japanese, I found katakana hard to memorize, so I applied to review Reading Japanese Menus to make studying more fun. It uses photos to teach the names of foods to try in Japan, and the native-speaker MP3 makes it easy to listen and repeat. Korean pronunciations are provided, including marks for long vowels. The book covers 18 categories: convenience-store food, Japanese home cooking, ramen, soba, udon, tempura, rice bowls, sashimi, sushi, yakiniku, izakaya, fast food and family
