## What is Sushi & Izakaya Menu Decoder?

Staring at a hand-written Japanese menu with no pictures and no English? This app turns it back into food — and then orders it for you.

THE ORDER BUILDER — POINT & ORDER

Browse the menu guides, tap + on anything that looks good, and build your order list. Then press "Show to staff" and hand over your phone: your whole order appears as a full-screen Japanese order sheet with a polite greeting built in. No pronunciation battles, no pointing at strangers' plates. It works every time.

130+ MENU ITEMS & TIPS, DECODED

SUSHI
• Classic Nigiri — maguro to otoro, salmon to seared engawa
• Shrimp, Squid & Shellfish — including which pieces are fully cooked
• Gunkan & Roe — ikura, uni, negitoro and friends
• Rolls & Inari — with the reliable vegetarian trio
• Sushi Words & Sides — gari, agari, omakase, and "sabi-nuki" for no wasabi
• Sushi Etiquette — dip the fish not the rice, and eight more counter rules

IZAKAYA
• Yakitori & Skewers — momo to tsukune, plus the shio-or-tare question
• Fried Favorites — karaage, gyoza, takoyaki (bite carefully)
• Small Plates, Sashimi & Seafood — from edamame to the mighty hokke
• Grilled & Hearty, then Shime — how locals actually end the night
• The Drinks Menu — from "toriaezu nama" to Hoppy deep cuts
• How Izakaya Work — otoshi, nomihodai, calling staff, paying, no tipping

Every item shows its Japanese name, romaji reading and honest tasting notes — plus RAW / COOKED / VEG / SPICY flags, so you always know what you're getting into before it lands on the table.

30 RESTAURANT PHRASES

English, Japanese and romaji with a full-screen "Show this" mode — allergies, "no wasabi", counter seats, splitting the bill. Show your phone and you're understood.

MADE FOR YOUR TRIP

• Works 100% offline — basement izakaya and airplane mode included
• No account, no tracking, no ads
• Star items you want to try, search everything instantly

The best meals in Japan have no English menu. Now that's your advantage.
