Cloud 9: Gourmet Site Targeting Tourists Visiting Japan “Japanful” Launched
- Registering 200,000 bars and restaurants by 2020, Japanful aims to be the largest gourmet site targeting visitors to Japan
Japanful's Mission
The Mission of Japanful is “to create an environment where all visitors to Japan can fully enjoy the abundance of Japanese Cuisine”. With this mission, Japanful aims to make the burdensome process of creating a foreign language menu easier with Japanful's free food specific translator, available on the Japanful website. As a result of this, foreigners can easily understand the complexities of Japanese cuisine and Japanese restaurants can move one step closer to true Omotenashi (hospitality).
