How to say "showcase" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- nounThe concrete sense: a glass display case or vitrine in a shop or museum for showing items. If your 'showcase' is a physical piece of furniture, this is the word.
- 紹介しょうかいnoun, suru verb, transitive verbThe figurative sense of showcasing a product, i.e. presenting or introducing it. 紹介 is really the everyday word for 'introduction', so use it when 'showcase' means presenting something to others, not a display case.
Use 「ショーケース」 for the literal glass display case, and 紹介 when 'showcase' is figurative, meaning to introduce or present a product to an audience.
