Yayoi-ken Launches Multilingual Service for Foreign Guests to Enhance Their Dining Experience

Yayoi-ken Launches Multilingual Service for Foreign Guests

Yayoi-ken, a popular Japanese casual dining restaurant chain operated by Plenus Co., is taking important steps towards enhancing the dining experience for foreign visitors in Japan. With 361 outlets across the country by the end of September 2025, Yayoi-ken aims to break down language barriers that may deter tourists from fully enjoying their meals. To address this, the restaurant has initiated an innovative service that allows customers to view menu options and ordering procedures in English and Simplified Chinese directly on their smartphones.

How the New System Works

Utilizing QR codes displayed at various locations inside the restaurant, guests can simply scan the code with their smartphones to access a menu presented in both English and Chinese (Simplified). This feature aims to provide a seamless experience for international customers visiting Yayoi-ken outlets. It is important to note that while QR codes are available at many locations, they may not be present in every restaurant.

Menu Access

By scanning the dedicated QR codes, guests gain easy access to both regular and limited-time menus written in English and Simplified Chinese:

- Regular Menu (English): View Here
- Limited Menu (English): View Here
- Regular Menu (Simplified Chinese): View Here
- Limited Menu (Simplified Chinese): View Here

Ordering Made Easy

In addition to menu access, the new QR code service also provides guides on how to order food using ticket vending machines and tabletop kiosks in English and Chinese (Simplified). Visitors can find comprehensive instructions at the following links:

To further enhance customer convenience, Yayoi-ken also offers an official app that not only allows users to stay updated about new products and promotions but also makes it easy to browse menus and find nearest locations. The app features direct ordering from delivery services like UberEats as well. Additionally, users can earn coupons by playing mini-games within the app and can use QR coupons to enjoy benefits on their orders.
