gluten free food

Hey guys

I'm gluten intollerant - just wondering if there is access to gluten free flour, gluten free pasta/noodles etc. Would greatly appreciate the heads up before I come over to Japan.

Cheers!

They are available from specialized health food stores, but unless there happens to be one in your neighbourhood your best bet is to order online. (You'll obviously need a Japanese speaker to help you so order in bulk.)

There's also a groundbreaking home breadmaking gadget from Sanyo called "Gopan" which might come in handy - it transforms rice grains into bread. Google "gopan gluten" and decide for yourself whether you think it's worth the investment (it's new technology so still pretty pricey).

Hi

You might want to print out a copy of this to show restaurants while in Japan :
