FAQ
- Are there Gluten-free restaurants in Daikanyama?
- Yes. We've confirmed 3 Gluten-free-friendly venues in Daikanyama in person — Heavenly Island Lifestyle Daikanyama, NO OHAGI, premium SOW. No wheat, barley or rye. The surprise in Japan: ordinary soy sauce (shoyu) is brewed with wheat, so teriyaki, dipping sauces, and most marinades aren't gluten-free unless tamari is used.
- What should Gluten-free travellers watch for in Daikanyama?
- The traps are the same across Japan: Soy sauce (shoyu) — brewed with wheat; ask for tamari / Tempura, tonkatsu, korokke, gyoza skins — all wheat / Soba can be cut with wheat flour (choose juwari = 100% buckwheat). Always confirm your specific dish with the staff.
- How do I order Gluten-free food in Japanese?
- 「小麦アレルギーです。小麦は食べられません。」(Komugi arerugī desu. Komugi wa taberaremasen.) — I have a wheat allergy. I can't eat wheat.
