Gesture & etiquette
Point to the dish on the menu and wait for the answer.
Many Japanese dishes use dashi (broth) made from fish (katsuobushi). Always clarify if 'dashi' is acceptable for your dietary needs. If you want to ask if it can be made without, you can add 'Sakana nuki ni dekimasu ka?' (Can it be made without fish?)
