A Guide to Izakaya in Japan: Video Introduction 日本にっぽんの居酒屋いざかやの解説動画かいせつどうが紹介しょうかい This video, titled "IZAKAYA TIPS! 5 minutes 42 seconds｜Suntory" (IZAKAYA TIPS!! 5分42秒 サントリー), was uploaded by "Suntory Official Channel" (サントリー公式チャンネル （SUNTORY）). 今回こんかいは、『サントリー公式こうしきチャンネル （SUNTORY）』さん制作せいさくの『IZAKAYA TIPS!! 5分ごふん42秒よんじゅうにびょう サントリー』という動画どうがを紹介しょうかいします。 Izakaya in Japan and Japanese Bar Culture 日本にほんの居酒屋いざかやと日本にほんの酒場さかば文化ぶんか Photo：Kanpai at an izakaya（写真しゃしん：居酒屋いざかやで乾杯かんぱい） An izakaya (居酒屋) is a Japanese-style bar that serves alcoholic beverages and food. 居酒屋いざかやとは、酒類しゅるいと料理りょうりを提供ていきょうする日本風にほんふうの飲食店いんしょくてんのことです。 While bars and pubs are Western-style establishments and serve mainly Western-style alcoholic beverages, izakaya offer a greater variety and quantity of food than bars and pubs. 居酒屋いざかやは主おもに洋風ようふうの酒さけを提供ていきょうする洋風ようふうのバーやパブよりも料理りょうりの種類しゅるいや量りょうが多おおいのが特徴とくちょうです。 Unlike bars, izakaya are often used for parties/large groups of people. バーとは違ちがって、居酒屋いざかやはパーティーや大だい人数にんずうで利用りようされることが多おおいです。 They are also generally less formal than restaurants. また、一般的いっぱんてきにレストランよりもカジュアルな雰囲気ふんいきがあります。 [Video] 0:16 - What are Izakaya? 【動画どうが】0:16～　居酒屋いざかやとは？ Entering and Ordering at Izakaya in Japan 日本にほんの居酒屋いざかや～入店にゅうてんから注文ちゅうもんまで～ Photo：A waitress pouring a beer（写真しゃしん：生ビールなまびーるを注そそぐ女性店員じょせいてんいん） When you enter an izakaya they'll likely greet you with the standard "irasshaimase!" (いらっしゃいませ！), or the shorter version "irasshai!" (いらっしゃい！). 居酒屋いざかやさんに入はいると、「いらっしゃいませ！」またはもっと短みじかい「いらっしゃい！」と挨拶あいさつされるでしょう。 Both of these mean "Welcome!" and are the typical greeting you'll hear at restaurants and stores across Japan. どちらも「ようこそ！」という意味いみで、日本中にほんじゅうのレストランやお店みせでよく聞きかれる挨拶あいさつです。 [Video] 0:31 - Staff Greeting a Customer 【動画どうが】0:31～　スタッフによるお客様きゃくさまへのご挨拶あいさつ After being seated at a table, the staff will likely bring oshibori (おしぼり) to your table. テーブルに着席ちゃくせきすると、店員てんいんさんがおしぼりを持もってきます。 Oshibori are wet towels that are used to wipe one's hands before eating. おしぼりとは、食事しょくじの前まえに手てを拭ふくための濡ぬれたタオルです。 You may see people wiping their faces or tables with oshibori, but keep in mind that this can be considered rude in some cases, so it might be best to avoid doing it. おしぼりで、顔かおやテーブルを拭ふくのを見みかけますが、失礼しつれいにあたることもあるので、避さけた方ほうが良よいかもしれません。 [Video] 0:37 - Oshibori 【動画どうが】0:37～　おしぼり After you've been seated and your oshibori has been brought to the table, the next thing to do is order your first dish. 席せきに着ついて、おしぼりが運はこばれてきたら、次つぎは注文ちゅうもんです。 At izakaya in Japan, it's common for everyone to order a simple beer, as they're all the same and can be served relatively quickly. ビールは比較的ひかくてき早はやく提供ていきょうされるので日本にほんの居酒屋いざかやでは、最初さいしょにビールを注文ちゅうもんするのが定番ていばんです。 The stock phrase for this is "Toriaezu nama" (とりあえず生) which means "For now, I'll take a draft beer." 注文ちゅうもんする時とき、「とりえず、生なまビールお願ねがいします」という意味いみの「とりあえず生せい」という決きまり文句もんくを使つかいます。 Having said that, if you don't like beer, you can just order something else. とはいえ、ビールが苦手にがてな方ほうは、他たの飲のみ物ものを注文ちゅうもんしましょう。 [Video] 1:20 - Ordering Your First Drink at an Izakaya in Japan 【動画どうが】1:20～　日本にほんの居酒屋いざかやで初はじめての飲のみ物ものの注文ちゅうもん After you've ordered you're first drink or dish, you'll be served an otoshi (お通し). 最初さいしょの飲のみ物ものまたは料理りょうりを注文ちゅうもんした後のちは、「お通とおし」が出でてきます。 Otoshi are small appetizers served at izakaya and often include a variety of vegetables and sometimes meat, or they can be as simple as edamame. お通とおしとは、居酒屋いざかやで出だされる小ちいさな前菜ぜんさいのことで、よく野菜やさいや肉にくが入はいっていますが、枝豆えだまめなどのシンプルなお通とおしもあります。 These cost several hundred yen as they are served in place of a cover charge, and cannot be refused. お通とおしは、通常つうじょう数すう百ひゃく円えんのカバーチャージの代かわりに提供ていきょうされるため、断ことわることができません。 Unfortunately, you can't choose what your otoshi is, so if you're a picky eater or have allergies, you may not be able to eat them at all. 残念ざんねんながら、お通とおしは選えらべないので、好すき嫌きらいが激はげしい人ひとやアレルギーのある人ひとは食たべられない可能性かのうせいもあります。 [Video] 1:56 - Otoshi 【動画どうが】1:56～　お通とおし Ordering at an Izakaya in Japan 日本にほんの居酒屋いざかやでの注文ちゅうもん Photo：A woman calling a server（写真しゃしん：店員てんいんを呼よぶ女性じょせい） After you've received your beer and otoshi, and you're ready to order, you'll need to call the server over to your table. ビールなどの飲のみ物ものとお通とおしがきて、注文ちゅうもんの品しなが決きまったら、店員てんいんさんをテーブルに呼よびます。 In Japan the server generally won't come to your table to check how the meal is or to ask if you want to order something. 日本にほんでは一般的いっぱんてきに、店員てんいんさんは食事しょくじの様子ようすを見みに来きたり、追加注文ついかちゅうもんを聞ききに来きたりすることはありません。 Instead, you'll call them over to the table when you want to order something. その代かわり、何なにか注文ちゅうもんしたいときにはテーブルまで店員てんいんさんを呼よびます。 This can be done by calling out "sumimasen!" (すみません), which means "Excuse me!" in Japanese. そのとき、「すみません！」と呼よびかけをしましょう。 As the video mentions, this is never considered rude and is the proper way to order at an izakaya and most restaurants in Japan. 動画どうがで紹介しょうかいされているように、「すみません」は、居酒屋いざかやや日本にほんのほとんどのレストランでも使つかわれている正ただしい注文ちゅうもん方法ほうほうなので失礼しつれいにはあたりません。 [Video] 2:36 - Calling the Server at an Izakaya in Japan 【動画どうが】2:36～　居酒屋いざかやで店員てんいんさんを呼よぶ様子ようす If you're not a picky eater and are feeling adventurous, you can always ask the server for their recommendation as well. 好き嫌すききらいが激はげしくなくて、冒険ぼうけん心しんがある人ひとなら、店員てんいんさんにお勧すすめのメニューを聞きいてみるのも良よいでしょう。 The phrase for this is "Osusume wa?" (おすすめは？). その時ときの決きまり文句もんくは「おすすめは？」。 You don't have to know what they're saying, just give a simple "Okay," and you should have no problems ordering. 言いっていることが分わからなくても、「OK」と言いえば、注文ちゅうもんできるはずです。 Another tip to keep in mind when ordering, is to point at the pictures on the menu. 注文ちゅうもんするときのもう１ひとつのポイントは、メニューの写真しゃしんを指ゆび差さすことです。 This will make it much easier to order. そうすれば、注文ちゅうもんがしやすくなるでしょう。 If there aren't any pictures, the Google Translate app's real time translation feature is super useful, so definitely give it a try! 写真しゃしんがない場合ばあいは、Google翻訳ぐーぐるほんやくのアプリのリアルタイム翻訳機能ほんやくきのうがすごく便利べんりなので、ぜひ使つかってみてください。 [Video] 3:40 - Asking the Staff for a Recommendation 【動画どうが】3:40～　店員てんいんさんにおすすめを聞きく様子ようす Izakaya Food – Menu Items, Courses, and Prices at Izakaya in Japan 日本にほんの居酒屋いざかやでの注文ちゅうもん方法ほうほう Photo：An izakaya party menu（写真しゃしん：居酒屋いざかやの宴会メニューえんかいめにゅー） Japan's izakaya often serve a wide variety of dishes. 日本にほんの居酒屋いざかやでは、様々さまざまなメニューがあります。 You can often find small dishes using a variety of vegetables, sashimi platters, and things like karaage (Japanese fried chicken), yakitori (chicken skewers), takoyaki (fried balls of batter with octopus), and gyoza (pot stickers), as well as larger dishes like seafood bowls and even ramen. 様々さまざまな野菜やさいを使つかった小皿こざらのメニューや刺身さしみの盛もり合あわせ、から揚あげ、焼やき鳥とり、たこ焼やき、餃子ぎょうざなどの軽かるいものも多おおくありますが、海鮮丼かいせんどんやラーメンといったボリュームのあるメニューもあります。 Besides the individual dishes and drinks, most izakaya in Japan offer a "tabehoudai" (食べ放題, all you can eat) or "nomihoudai" (飲み放題, all you can drink) course as well. 単品たんぴんのメニューや飲のみ物ものの他ほかに、日本にほんの多おおくの居酒屋いざかやには、「食たべ放題ほうだい」や「飲のみ放題ほうだい」というコースがあります。 Both courses are structured roughly the same. どちらのコースもほぼ同おなじ構成こうせいです。 They usually last 90-120 minutes and allow you to choose most things on the menu. 通常つうじょう90分きゅうじゅっぷん〜120分ひゃくにじゅっぷんのコースで、ほとんどのメニューを選えらぶことができます。 If you order something that isn't included in the course, it will be added onto your bill. コースに含ふくまれないメニューを注文ちゅうもんすると、会計かいけいに追加ついかされます。 The server will generally explain what you can and cannot order with the courses. また、コースで注文ちゅうもんできるもの、できないものについては、店員てんいんさんが説明せつめいしてくれます。 The prices for these courses vary by izakaya, but both tabehoudai and nomihoudai generally cost somewhere around ¥2,000-¥3,000+. これらのコースの値段ねだんは居酒屋いざかやによって異ことなりますが、食たべ放題ほうだいと飲のみ放題ほうだいの価格かかくは、それぞれ2,000円えんから3,000円えんぐらいが一般的いっぱんてきです。 Some izakaya even offer a "tabe-nomihoudai" (食べ飲み放題) course which combines them into an "all-you-can-eat-and-drink" course. また、居酒屋いざかやによっては、食たべ放題ほうだいと飲のみ放題ほうだいを合あわせた「食たべ飲のみ放題ほうだい」コースがあります。 You can expect this to cost around ¥4,000-¥5,000+. この場合ばあい、4,000～5,000円えんぐらいかかるかもしれません。 Something to keep in mind when ordering these courses is that, in general, if one person orders it, everyone has to order it. これらのコースを注文ちゅうもんするときに気きを付つけることは、一般的いっぱんてきに、一人ひとりが注文ちゅうもんしたら、全員ぜんいんが注文ちゅうもんしなければならないということです。 This is to prevent one person from getting the course and sharing their food or drinks with everybody else. これは、一人ひとりが注文ちゅうもんした「食たべ放題ほうだい」「飲のみ放題ほうだい」メニューを、他たの人ひとにシェアしないための工夫くふうです。 There are some places that don't require everyone to order the course, but these restaurants are not common. なかには全員ぜんいんが注文ちゅうもんしなくてもいいというお店みせもありますが、一般的いっぱんてきにはありません。 Paying the Bill at an Izakaya in Japan 日本にほんの居酒屋いざかやでの支払しはらいについて Photo：Staff taking payment at a table（写真しゃしん：席せきで会計かいけいをする居酒屋店員いざかやてんいん） When paying your bill at an izakaya in Japan, just like when ordering, it's commonplace to call the staff over with "sumimasen!" 日本にほんの居酒屋いざかやで会計かいけいをしたいときは、注文ちゅうもんするときと同おなじように、「すみません！」と店員てんいんを呼よぶのが一般的いっぱんてきです。 The easiest phrase for telling the server you want to pay your bill is "okaikei onegaishimasu" (お会計お願いします, Check, please). お会計かいけいをお願ねがいするための決きまり文句もんくは「お会計かいけいお願ねがいします」 If you say this, they'll have the bill at your table in no time. この言葉ことばを言いえば、店員てんいんさんがお会計かいけいをすぐにテーブルまで持もってきてくれます。 You'll either pay the bill at your table and the staff will bring you your change, or you bring the bill to the register to pay. Every izakaya is different. テーブルで会計かいけいを済すませる場合ばあい、店みせのレジで会計かいけいをする場合ばあいがありますが、お店みせによって違ちがいます。 Another important thing to note when paying at izakaya is that most places will not allow you to split the bill. もう1つ居酒屋いざかやで払はらうときに覚おぼえておきたいことは、ほとんどのお店みせで個別こべつで支払しはらうことはできません。 This is because it's not clear who ate what sometimes, and if there's a large group of people it can take a lot of time to pay. 理由りゆうは、居酒屋いざかやでは個人こじんが何なにを食たべたかが分わかりにくくて、大だい人数にんずうの個別こべつの会計かいけいは時間じかんがかかるからです。 To avoid these problems, most izakaya require that groups pay together. このような問題もんだいが起おこらないように、ほとんどの居酒屋いざかやでは、グループごとに会計かいけいをしています。 Tokyo?

An Eye-Catching Introduction to Japan This approximately 4-minute video, focusing on modern-day Japan as seen by foreign tourists and travelers, boasts a level of quality that has attracted major interest not only in Japan but in various countries throughout the world. This video's footage goes above and beyond other Japan PR videos and keeps viewers glued to the screen. By the video's end, you'll most likely feel an indescribable surge of emotions, such as those experienced after viewing a magnificent movie of epic proportions! Highlights of the Japanese Introduction Video, "in Japan" This video, "In Japan," taken in 2015 by German filmmaker/creator Vincent Urban, is a nearly 4-minute collection of footage of his 3-week journey in Japan to locations including Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Hiroshima. In taking a look at images of landscapes and scenery natural and commonplace to Japanese people which are projected from a foreigner’s perspective, even we as Japanese natives can perceive such images as unknown, brand new discoveries and never-before-seen sights and scenes, and this video therefore allows us to learn about the appeal and charm of Japan in a brand new light. Viewers of this video can also agree that its high quality BGM and camera work is yet another reason for its high acclaim both in and out of Japan. This video condenses a wide variety of discoveries in Japan ranging from regularly seen daily scenery and landscapes to famous tourist spots. Examples of such sights include Asakusa Temple in the Shitamachi area of Tokyo, festivals, Kendo (Japanese martial art with bamboo swords), Buddhist temples, Fushimi Inari-taisha shrine as well as convenience stores, Tokyo Tower, street performances, Tokyo Skytree, sumo wrestlers, clubs and idols, in addition to shinkansen (bullet trains), natural landscapes, the Atomic Bomb Domes in Hiroshima & Nagasaki, Mt. Fuji and metropolitan night scenes. Japan as Seen Through Cultural Changes Photo：Sumo Learning about shifts in modern Japanese culture gives us deeper insights into the allure and attraction of Japan as a nation in the present day. Japan of yore once had superb classic culture primarily consisting of artistic traditional crafts, and as you can see in the video, festivals and martial arts passed down to Japan from ancient times have been regarded as symbolizing the very culture of "Nihon no Wa," or "The Spirit of Japan." It is also well-known that Japan is the birthplace of kendo and sumo wrestling which are now sports famous all the world over. In addition, present-day Japan is going through transitions in which its forms of entertainment, such as manga (Japanese comics/cartoons) and anime (Japanese animation), formerly considered to be types of sub-culture, have been disseminated throughout the globe to be cherished by multitudes of people as pop culture. This signifies shifts in the image of "Japan" in the eyes of foreigners abroad from that of a land of ninja and samurai to an anime & manga nation. The Akihabara area, now the "Mecca" of anime and manga which serves as the center of Japanese contemporary culture, has become a well-known tourist location which draws huge numbers of sightseers visiting Japan, and it's also popular as a town for shopping.

The existence of temples and shrines in Japan, whose number is too great to mention here, attracts hosts of foreign sightseers day by day, and this is proof of how Japan enjoys deep-rooted popularity as a tourist destination amongst abroad residents all over the world. Japan as Seen Through Nature ©Izu City Modifying The richness and abundance of nature, amongst other aspects, is definitely a thing to behold here in Japan. Japan's largest mountain, Mt. Fuji, and its bamboo forest, also featured in the video, are without a doubt natural tourist spots that represent the glory of Japan. The view from Mt. Fuji's summit, in particular, is easily summed up by the words "magnificent scenery," and once you experience climbing this mountain on your own, you'll be able to appreciate the thrill and excitement of this spectacle all the more.
