魚が食べられないのですが、この料理のだしに魚は使われていますか?

さかながたべられないのですが、このりょうりのだしにさかなはつかわれていますか?

I cannot eat fish. Is fish used in the broth (dashi) of this dish?

Romaji: Sakana ga taberarenai no desu ga, kono ryouri no dashi ni sakana wa tsukawarete imasu ka? / Reply Romaji: Hai, katsuobushi no dashi o tsukatte iru node, betsu no menyuu ni henkou shimashou ka?

Reply

はい、かつお節のだしを使っているので、別のメニューに変更しましょうか?

はい、かつおぶしのだしをつかっているので、べつのめにゅーにへんこうしましょうか?

Yes, it contains bonito (fish) broth. Shall we change it to another menu item for you?

Gesture & etiquette

Place your hand flat over your stomach or shake your head slightly to express dietary restriction while pointing to the menu.

In Japan, many staff do not realize that vegetarians/vegans cannot have 'dashi' (broth) because it is considered a seasoning rather than 'fish' itself. Always specify 'dashi' specifically.
