Why don't you ask some japanese people?

Because they have a tendency to give the answer they think you want to hear and not the truth

Sure, it would at least catch their attention to see a fully Japanese advertisement in the middle of the UK. In San Francisco I occasionally see advertisements geared towards tourists written in Japanese.

The question, though, is if enough Japanese tourists would see your flyers--and then actually go to the restaurant--to make it worth the cost of printing/distributing them. After all, I visit Japan to see/do Japanese stuff, and so on for any foreign country. Fully English-language ads/menus are actually a bit of a negative to me, not a positive.

Cultural insight, absolutely correct.

I personally think it would be an excellent advertising tactic, especially if the menu/staff had some nihongo--and of course, that would be pointed out in the flyer.

thanks for the replies!
