JAPAN: EngMenu.com can demystify dining in Japan

December 27, 2009

-- Jen Leo

If you are excited about your trip to Japan but have no idea what or where you'll be eating, let EngMenu.com demystify the country's dining styles and introduce you to culinary adventures.


What's hot: Certified Perfect English Menu is easy to understand and use even if you don't know a lick of Japanese.

It caters to foodies as well as English-speaking tourists trying to figure out what to expect before they visit. You can search for restaurants in Kobe, Kyoto, Osaka and Tokyo, or surf the website by price and cuisine.

EngMenu.com also knows that travelers might not always want Japanese food and lets you know where to find Italian fare, restaurants good for vegetarians or those where English is spoken. I particularly like its participation on Twitter (@EngMenu).


What's not: Some of the links in the top nav had blank pages. If you are clicking on special features such as "Cheap Eats" or "English Spoken" and are not seeing results, there may not be any -- or at least very few -- in that city. Make sure you watch which city and selections you are searching for (on the top left-hand side of the page in red) and clear your selections when you want to start over.
