Low-Sodium Japanese Restaurant Choices Made Simple

Japanese cuisine is celebrated for its balance of flavor and freshness, but hidden sodium in sauces and seasoning can challenge those watching their salt intake. With MM Food, diners can confidently enjoy authentic Japanese meals while sticking to low-sodium dietary goals. Here’s how the app transforms your dining experience:

Understanding Sodium in Japanese Dishes

Common ingredients like soy sauce, miso, dashi, and pickled items contribute to high sodium levels. Dishes like ramen, teriyaki, and sushi rolls with processed toppings often pack the most salt. MM Food’s AI scans menu items for these hidden risks, flagging high-sodium options and suggesting alternatives.

Low-Sodium-Friendly Japanese Dishes to Look For

• Sashimi: Fresh raw fish without added sauces.
• Steamed or Grilled Proteins: Chicken, fish, or tofu prepared simply.
• Vegetable-Based Dishes: Edamame, steamed greens, or seaweed salads (request light seasoning).
• Customizable Bowls: Opt for rice bowls with fresh toppings and low-sodium tamari on the side.
