Japanese companies providing services in English alongside Japanese is not super common, but one in particular that never did was Pizza Hut Japan. You would think that the company would want to make it as easy as possible for non-Japanese customers to order pizza.

Learn to read Japanese signs at supermarkets
Trying to read Japanese signs in a Japanese supermarket / grocery store can be daunting. No matter how much you study Japanese or what books you buy, sometimes you can’t truly be prepared until you’re there.
For me, it was always inconvenient looking for things because I couldn’t read some of the signs above each aisle. Well, I went out and took photos of each sign above every aisle in an effort to help others be able to read Japanese signs in supermarkets. Check out each of the signs with Japanese readings of the kanji and translations!
