A book that contains the minimum amount of Japanese needed to enjoy the ambiance of a Japanese alley restaurant.

Watching Goro-san and Wakako in the Japanese dramas “Solitary Gourmet” and “Wakako’s Sake” naturally makes me yearn for Japanese alley restaurants.
A hidden gem in a narrow alley, with a weathered exterior, a menu filled with handwritten text, and a special dish unique to that restaurant.
Many people want to experience the unique sensibility of a Japanese alley restaurant, but are often hesitant to visit due to the menu being entirely in Japanese and the pressure of having to speak the local language.
"Basic Japanese for Going to Backstreet Restaurants" is a book designed to solve the problems of such people, allowing you to master Japanese backstreet restaurants and food by reading just one volume.


Hiragana, Katakana, and basic conversation are organized so that you can learn them through the keyword "food," so even beginners to Japanese can learn the basics without purchasing additional textbooks.
It also includes useful tips on Japanese food names, how to read menus, how to order, and regional differences in food and culture that are unique to Japan.
Let's make your dream of visiting a Japanese alley restaurant come true with this book, "Basic Japanese for Going to a Backstreet Restaurant."
