This is a little late, but anyone going to Japan and needs Gluten free...you best bet is to find a Western Restaurant as they are less likely to have gluten in everything. Sushi has Rice Vinegar in it. I don't know if Rice vinegar has gluten in it or not. Fried Rice gluten free: Lemon juice or peanut oil works in place of the gluten. GF Japan From Japan With Love blog. Excellent! GF blog, focusing on Japan mainly rainyrice blog Hungary: Gluten Free Globe (As of Oct. 9, 2010 this site did not work for Japan, as no one has commented. But do check here for other countries and regions as well, as more info might pop up with out notice.) My own blog, I'm still working on, but when done will be GF recipes for those with unusual food sensitivites, and mostly Vegan. (Onion, garlic, celery, cabbage, etc.)

Hi – I am looking for contacts of people with celiac who have travelled to Japan. My daughter, 13yr with celiac, is going with school to a host family in June to Akiruno, 3hrs outside Tokyo. So far I know soy sauce and eel are a no-no! Any info appreciated! Karen Rae from Marlborough, Massachusetts

I have the Triumph Dining cards and love them.

Each cuisine is represented in both English and a secondary language (the most appropriate for the server or cook). So the American cuisine card is in both English and Spanish, the Indian cuisine card in both English and Hindi. The cards content is specific to its cuisine, common and hidden sources of gluten are mentioned, as are examples of safe foods, and cross-contamination is covered as well. The cards are laid out in a really intuitive way; “Cannot Eat”, “Please Check”, and “I Can Eat.” I have lots of servers & chefs that ask to keep the card for reference.

I find the cards are REALLY useful when the server or cook and I don’t speak the same language. I keep a set in my purse and in the car.
