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. </p> http://openkyoto.com/kyoto-support/topic/gluten-free#post-195 Thu, 10 Sep 2009 00:40:09 +0000 bern 195@http://openkyoto.com/kyoto-support/ <p>A local restaurant owner has promised to write something for us. But wondering if the foodies here can make any comments or suggestions. </p> http://openkyoto.com/kyoto-support/topic/gluten-free#post-185 Sun, 26 Jul 2009 11:24:09 +0000 bern 185@http://openkyoto.com/kyoto-support/ <p>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? </p>
