Japanese Health and Safety rules are (as you'd expect) extremely strict. In fact, for the reasons you mentioned, most restaurants won't let you take home a "doggy bag" if you don't finish your food, as legally they'd be responsible if you let the food spoil, ate it, and got sick. :shock: Brandy-san

It means 'take out'. But... sometimes the clerk will have a follow up answer. They want to warn you that if you take it home you need to eat it soon or you may get a stomach ache. I guess it's for legal reasons that they have to warn you, but the first time the clerk told me this I had no idea what she was saying and in return decided against take out. So maybe in this situation you should respond with, "wakarimashita." ‘Mochikaeri’ is also an extremely useful word to remember when dealing with food. It means ‘take out’.

Is this the japanese way of reservation a "table"? or simple say two people?. Your answer lacks the time frame because I do not want a table right away, I want a table at 7 pm tonight as at the time of asking it would be about 4 pm. let me put my question again. "To reserve a table for two at 7 pm tonight" 2. Thank you for your instruction. 3. I would like to have some examples of cooked chicken and pork dishes in the Japanese menu so that I know how to order in a restaurant or izakaiya. Is there a menu (or some examples of dishes) in Japanese at your website? Thanks JKid sen-sei,

If I were placing an order in an udon-ya, would it be proper to say: " Udon futatsu, buta niku nuki de onegaishimasu"? Or would " buta niku nashi de" be better? I haven't been to Japan yet, but I can't wait to come for a visit. Hopefully, I'll know enough by then to get by without using my english :grin: ja mata! Konbanwa minna-san :grin:
