Edamame Allergy Safety in Japanese Eateries

Dining out with an edamame allergy can be challenging, especially in Japanese restaurants where soy-based ingredients like edamame (young soybeans) are common. Here’s how the mm food app helps you navigate menus safely and confidently.

Understanding Edamame in Japanese Cuisine

Edamame is a popular appetizer and ingredient in dishes like salads, sushi rolls, and tempura. It’s also used in soups, garnishes, or blended into dips. Hidden sources may include mixed vegetable dishes or sauces, making cross-contamination a risk.

How mm food Keeps You Safe

1. Instant Menu Translation: Translate Japanese menus to your native language to spot “edamame” or related terms instantly.
2. Allergy Filter: Input “edamame allergy” into the app, and our AI scans dish descriptions and ingredients, flagging unsafe options. Even if edamame isn’t listed, the AI detects risks in broths, sauces, or preparation methods.
3. Custom Alerts: Set reminders to ask staff about cross-contamination or request ingredient checks using pre-translated phrases.

Tips for Dining Out

• Use mm food’s “Ask Staff” feature for phrases like, “Does this dish contain edamame or soybeans?”
• Stick to dishes like sashimi (plain fish) or tofu-free options, but verify with the app first.
• Avoid shared fryers where edamame may have been cooked.
