Welcome to Dishes Japan.

The purpose of this website is to introduce you to the most popular Japanese foods and some of the best places where they may be enjoyed during your stay in Japan. The restaurants we present here have been carefully selected based on the evaluations of experts in Japanese cuisine. These are places that are highly rated on the basis of both professional opinion and public recognition. These are restaurants that Japanese themselves prefer and rate highly. Our target audience is adventuresome foreigners who are interested in experiencing authentic Japanese tastes. Don’t be misled by fake labels. We guarantee that the restaurants we recommend are ones that Japanese frequent themselves and evaluate highly. We are confident that virtually everyone, no matter what their native cuisine, will find something at each restaurant that they will truly love. But there is something else we hope you will discover by visiting these special places. Along with cuisine, you will experience authentic Japanese culture, craftsmanship, and art. If we achieve our goal, you will leave each restaurant with a deep and abiding respect for the Japanese cultural heritage.

We offer examples of restaurants that suit a variety of budgets and tastes. At one end of the spectrum, there are high-end restaurants that are suitable for very special occasions or for entertaining important business clients. But there are also excellent restaurants that cater to ordinary salarymen, office ladies, blue-collar workers, and students. Some of the cheaper restaurants are little known treasures in somewhat remote places; others are gems hidden in plain sight. Some of the restaurants choose to maintain ridiculously low prices, but ration their services on the basis of waiting (i.e. queuing). The common element of all the restaurants featured here is an encounter with authentic Japanese cuisine and culture.

Our selection criteria for restaurants is highly restrictive. Consequently, we do not accept advertisements from the restaurants we feature. Our business model depends mainly on evaluations of Japanese professionals but, obviously, your opinions also matter. If you find our site useful and, especially, if you have an opportunity to verify our selections please “like” us and recommend us to your friends and associates. We look forward to your comments and suggestions, especially those that help us improve our English presentations. Keep in touch! We will be updating this website as we expand our geographical coverage and as exciting new discoveries are made.

亲爱的读者

这个网站的目的是向您介绍最受欢迎的日本食物和您在日本逗留期间可能会喜欢之地。网站里展示的餐厅是根据日本料理专家的评估精心挑选的。这些餐厅不仅获得专业意见的认可,也获得了公众的高度评价。这些餐厅亦获日本本地居民的偏好光顾和不断称赞。网站的目标受众是喜欢探店且对体验正宗的日本口味有浓厚兴趣的外国旅人。不要再被其他假标签误导了。我们保证网站里推荐的餐厅均是日本本地居民经常光顾,且高度评价的餐厅。我们相信,几乎每个人,无论他们家乡菜的口味如何,都会在每个餐厅找到他们真正喜欢的菜肴。我们同时希望您通过参观这些特殊的地方会发现一些其他的东西。除了美食,您还将体验正宗的日本文化、工艺和艺术。如果我们的初心得以实现,您将在离开每一家餐厅时,带着对日本文化遗产的真诚和持久的尊重。

我们提供适合各种预算和口味的餐厅示例。在众多选择的其中一端,有不少高端餐厅,非常适合特殊场合或招待重要的商业客户。但同时这里也有迎合普通工薪阶层、职场女性、蓝领职工和学生的出色餐厅。一些餐馆虽然便宜,位于偏远地区,但却是酒香不怕巷子深的宝藏;还有餐厅则是大隐隐于市的宝石。一些餐馆选择维持低得离谱的价格,但却丝毫不减服务质量,只要您愿意等待(排长队)。这里介绍的餐厅各有各的不同,但相同的是您在其中能与正宗的日本料理和文化美好相遇。

我们对餐馆的选择标准非常严格。因此,我们不接受所选餐厅的广告。我们的商业模式主要取决于日本专业人士的评价,但同时,您的意见也很重要。如果您觉得我们的网站有用,尤其是,如果您有机会验证我们的选择,请“喜欢”我们,并向您的朋友和同事推荐我们。我们期待您的意见和建议,尤其是那些帮助我们提高外文表达的意见和建议。保持联系!随着我们地理覆盖范围的扩大和令人兴奋的新发现的出现,我们将持续更新这个网站。
