Akihabara’s Owl no Mori Owl Cafe!
There’s a new flock of hooters in town, and they are all perching in Akihabara’s newest owl café, called “Owl no Mori” or “The Forest of Owls”. As awesomely weird as the concept sounds, it’s not actually unusual to find an owl cafe in Tokyo. I headed to Akihabara to find out just what makes Owl no Mori a flight above the rest.

Lunch at “Nishiki Agaru” near Nishiki Market, Kyoto. Nicely arranged tiny colorful cups called “nozoki” are so cute, which I never use at home (…too many to wash, you know).
The restaurant was a renovated Machiya, traditional merchant’s house, and had a beautiful small inner garden deep-inside with fresh green of Japanese maple, which we enjoyed just next to our seats. It was good to make a reservation earlier.

You can also bring foods you bought at Nishiki Market in (They will serve them on dish). Better to make reservations especially for weekend lunch.

創作和食レストラン「権八」
Creative Japanese restaurant「Gonpachi」
映画「キルビル」の戦闘シーンで撮影舞台にも使用されたレストラン。海外のアーティストも来店するらしい。夜に行ったら外国のお客さんしかいない！店員さんが気さくでキルビルや好きなアーティストの話をすると実際に撮影した場所や食事した部屋を案内してくれた！クラブミュージックがかかる和食レストランで食べたバーニャカウダと焼き鳥は格別に美味しかった。年に一回は行ってみたい。
Restaurant that was used to shoot the stage for the movie “Kill Bill”. Foreign artists appear to visit. Most of the visitor was a foreigner…! I ate the bagna cauda and yakitori who ate at a Japanese restaurant that flows club music. It was super delicious. I want to go once a year.

Thursday 28th September 2017. 14:00 Kyoto Japan.
I met Yoshiko at In The Green, a westernised Japanese restaurant, situated within Kyoto Botanical Gardens. This place was lovely, we sat outside on the terrace and ordered the biggest lunch; pizza and fish + chips, plus tea and cake lol. Today was my last day at Browns English so it only seemed right that I would spend it with Yoshiko. Thank you so much for a lovely afternoon!

Hello everyone!
We’re back with part two of our ‘Ordering at a restaurant in Japan’ blog post!
If you haven’t already - don’t forget to check out part one here: http://japanesewithyuandclare.tumblr.com/post/122848772617/ordering-at-a-restaurant-in-japan-part-one. :)
In the last post, we finished at ordering your food and drinks after you have been seated.
If you want to get the attention of the waiter/waitress to ask for something else (eg. a drink/utensils/salt), simply put up your hand and say:
すみません。
‘Sumimasen’.
Excuse me
Once you have the attention of the waiter/waitress - depending on what you would like, say:
＿＿＿をおねがいします
_____ wo onegaishimasu.
_____ please.
Things you can ask for:
しお Shio - Salt
こしょう Koshou - Pepper
ナプキン Napukin - Napkin/serviette
フォーク Fo-ku - Fork
ナイフ Naifu - Knife
スプーン Supu-n - Spoon
のみもの Nomimono - Drink (for drink names - see part one)
EXAMPLE -
Fo-ku wo onegaishimasu.
フォークをおねがいします
May I have a fork, please?
You can also ask the waitress the following questions:
おてあらいはどこですか？
Otearai ha doko desu ka?
Where is the restroom?
(The waiter/waitress should point the restrooms out to you)
メニューをもういちどください。
Menyu wo mouichido kudasai.
May I please see the menu again?
デザートメニューをください。
Deza-to menyu wo kudasai.
May I please see the dessert menu?
Once you have finished your meal, press the buzzer at your table or say ‘sumimasen’ to get the attention of the waiter/waitress if there is no buzzer.
To ask for the cheque, say:
おかいけいをおねがいします。
Okaikei wo onegaishimasu.
May I have the cheque, please.
After they give you the cheque, you will need to go up to the counter (usually located near the door) where they will take payment.
Etiquette tip: Wait until the waiter/waitress has finished speaking until you put the cash on the little tray provided for them to take and calculate your change. They will put the change on the same tray. Wait for them to finish speaking again before you take your change.
Another handy tip: Before you pay, the waiter/waitress may ask you for a T-point card. To see how to talk about the T-point card and learn more about it, see our post on T-point cards (http://japanesewithyuandclare.tumblr.com/post/121191858402/essential-japanese-for-your-trip-to-japan-1-do)
That’s all for our ‘Ordering at a Restaurant in Japan’ post! Stay tuned for next week’s post! We shall be updating weekly language tips, tricks and more each Sunday from now on.
Feel free to ask us any questions! <3
