Mangled Mifune on the Menu
A very quick heads-up to a translator who wants to make an interesting (and potentially delicious) cold call: 料理屋「三船」 (Ryōri-ya Mifune) is a restaurant that takes the great actor Mifune Toshirō as its theme. Part of me hopes this means Belushi-style swordplay à la “Samurai Delicatessen,” but the place looks like it’s shooting for something a bit more classy.
Expressing a view of Mifune Toshiro’s world in to the plate, and the food he loved the most, to your satisfactory.
Unfortunately, the class doesn’t extend to the English portion of its website. Hence the translation sales angle. Go for a meal, thank the owner for the culinary experience, and mention that you’d like to help brush up the multilingual site so it matches the stature of the man whose name is being borrowed.
