Japan Expert Gluten Free Hotel Bases+First 24 Hours Survival Guide

Your first 24 hours in Japan as a coeliac is the hardest.

95% of GF cafes don't open until 11am. Soy sauce is everywhere. Even vinegar and common sweeteners can have gluten—and Japanese doctors don't test for coeliac because Japanese DNA doesn't react to gluten protein. You are on your own.

Unless you have this guide.
