Our Mission and Passion

There are many delicious foods and drinks in Japan. As the Japanese people, we want people from overseas to enjoy them.

However, Japanese food labeling is not always kind to travelers from abroad.

  • Since raw materials and allergens are displayed in Japanese, they cannot be read by foreigners.
  • There are no labeling rules regarding gluten-free and vegetarian.
  • Little is known about FODMAPs.
  • There is almost no indication of halal, kosher, etc.

Therefore, at “Japan Glutenfree.com”, you can easily find the following information about popular foods and drinks in Japan

  • Explanation about foods and drinks
  • Caution for people with dietary restrictions
  • Raw materials
  • Price
  • Where is it recommended to eat

A pharmacist with medical knowledge is responsible for writing attention to people with dietary restrictions.

However, please note that the recipes for food are endless and may differ from the explanations on this site.

The price and where to eat is a personal opinion of our staff. please refer.
