Learn Japanese – Podcast: #53: Using an electronic Japanese menu



Why bother to learn Kanji when you can just use pictures ? In more and more restaurants today in Japan you can order food using portable electronic menus. The menu is an A4 touch screen device that sits on a charger on the table and can also be detached and hand held. It’s quite a sturdy piece of electronics that looks like it can handle a few splashes of beer or yakiniku sauce. The screen has an easy to navigate user interface with pictures and various menus for you to touch and order. Once you have selected your food you can touch the confirm promt and it will send a relay to the kitchen for your food to be prepared and served to you. It’s an ingenious system that must save a lot of time and labour although you will need to read a little Japanese to use it. Here is a list of the basic kanji you will need to navigate around the menu. ææïãããããïOrderææçèïãããããããããïConfirm your orderèïããïMeatéïãããïFishèïããïVegetablesæïããïFried foodéïããïDrinksããããïDessert I was going to release this video as a Fun Friday episode but I thought why wait.
