Gesture & etiquette
Show the name of the ingredient on your phone or a piece of paper if possible. Otherwise, just ask politely.
If the ingredient name is difficult to pronounce, have it written down or displayed on your phone. Avoid asking for items that are clearly not sold in a typical Japanese supermarket (e.g., very specific foreign ethnic ingredients).
