Disclaimer
1. Information Only, Not Medical Advice
All content on this website and in our products (guides, articles, maps, allergy cards, and emails) is provided for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult your physician regarding your own condition, medication, and dietary restrictions before and during travel.
2. No Legal Gluten-Free Standard in Japanese Restaurants
Unlike the FDA (USA) or European regulations (such as the 20ppm limit), Japan currently has no legal definition or strict regulation of the term "gluten-free" for restaurants. A restaurant in Japan may describe a dish as gluten-free while cross-contact with soy sauce, shared fryers, or shared cooking water still occurs. Even restaurants described as "100% gluten-free" in our content have not necessarily had every ingredient officially verified against international standards.
3. Information Changes Without Notice
Menus, recipes, suppliers, kitchen practices, chefs, opening hours, and ownership can change at any time without notice. Our content represents a snapshot at the time of research and provides no guarantee of current accuracy. Always confirm the latest information directly with the restaurant before visiting.
4. Your Final Verification
Our content is a starting point, not a guarantee of safety. You are solely responsible for your own health decisions. If restaurant staff seem unsure, hesitant, or unable to accommodate your needs, trust your instincts and choose another option. Do not rely on our content over the reality in front of you.
5. Communication Aids
Japanese allergy communication cards included in our products are aids for communication. We cannot guarantee that staff will read, fully understand, or comply with them. We are not responsible for miscommunication or errors by third parties.
6. Third-Party Services
Links to Google Maps and other third-party services are provided for convenience only. We do not control these services and are not liable for losses caused by their errors, changes, or outages.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Versence Inc. and its officers, employees, and contributors disclaim all liability for any adverse reactions, illness, medical costs, travel disruptions, or other damages arising from the use of this website or our products. Dining out with celiac disease or a food allergy in a foreign country involves inherent risks that you assume in full.
