My wife’s diet is gluten free. What should we say to ask if a dish uses gluten in its ingredients? Maybe I should print out something in Japanese to take with us? Is there much awareness of this diet in Japan?

A local restaurant owner has promised to write something for us. But wondering if the foodies here can make any comments or suggestions.

Here is a link to Tips for getting gluten free food in Japan, thanks to @DeepKyoto for the tip!

You can just print out this handy-dandy Japanese language card and show it in a restaurant:

I have been with veg/vegan friends that have asked a restaurant to serve a dish without meat and the restaurant refused to serve the person. We begged and even offered to pay the ‘with meat’ price and they said that they could not do it! So, just because you have the card, I don’t think that all your trouble are over in Japan.

The Japanese Celiac / Coeliac Gluten Free Restaurant Cards mentioned above are surely very useful but the text is so pixelated that I could barely read the Japanese, so I remade it as best I could. I input the English and Japanese text and made a PDF that people can download and print out for your travels to Japan.

If your computer has trouble rendering the Japanese text in the PDF, the outlined version ought to work for you.

I don’t have Celiac Disease and don’t know anything about it. I hope this is helpful for people. Please let me know if there is anything that needs changing, fixing or editing.
