Japan is amazing. It is also full of hidden gluten.
Soy sauce is brewed with wheat. Dashi hides in dishes that look perfectly clear. Even the free tea can be barley. This guide turns that anxiety into confidence: what to avoid, what to order, where to go, and exactly what to show restaurant staff.

Why This Guide Is Different
We are Komemaru and Yuma, a Tokyo couple. Komemaru lives with a wheat allergy, so this guide is the one we needed ourselves: every single spot personally visited, checked in detail, and chosen with zero compromise.
Read our story →01
Curated by the person it matters to
"Safe to eat" is only the starting line. We list a place only when we can honestly say it is delicious, after visiting and checking the details ourselves, one spot at a time. No sponsored listings.
02
The "actually delicious" test
Yuma eats wheat, so every dish is also judged against its regular wheat-based counterpart. If it is only good "for gluten-free," it does not make the list.
03
The whole trip, not just restaurants
A hidden-gluten survival manual, a custom map, five one-day itineraries, and Japanese allergy cards. Everything you need for the trip, in one place.
Restaurant information is re-checked and the guide is updated regularly, so your copy stays fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I receive the guide?
Instantly. As soon as your card payment is completed, an email with your download link arrives automatically. You can start reading on your phone, tablet, or computer right away.
Is this suitable for celiac disease, or only mild wheat allergy?
Both. Throughout the guide we distinguish between what is safe for strict celiac travelers and what is acceptable for milder wheat avoidance, including cross-contamination notes for every restaurant and dish.
What format is the guide?
A PDF designed for phone screens, plus a custom Google Map link for the restaurant list. Nothing to install, and it works offline once downloaded.
Does it cover cities other than Tokyo?
This edition focuses on Tokyo, where most international travelers start their trip. The survival manual (soy sauce, dashi, label reading, allergy cards) applies everywhere in Japan.
What is your refund policy?
