Navigating Sushi Bars with Histidine Restrictions: Your Safe Dining Guide

Dining out with histidine restrictions can feel like navigating a culinary maze, especially at sushi bars where seafood—a common high-histidine ingredient—is front and center. But with the mm food app, you can confidently enjoy sushi while staying true to your dietary needs. Here’s how to make the most of your next sushi experience.

How the mm Food App Simplifies Sushi Dining

1. Instant Menu Translation Use the app to translate Japanese menus into your native language, ensuring you understand every ingredient. No more guessing what’s inside that specialty roll!
2. AI-Powered Dietary Analysis Input your histidine restrictions (or select from pre-defined dietary profiles), and the app scans the menu to highlight safe options. It flags high-histidine ingredients like tuna, salmon, and shellfish, while suggesting alternatives.

Histidine-Friendly Sushi Choices

• Vegetarian Rolls: Opt for cucumber, avocado, or pickled vegetable rolls (avoid tofu if restricted).
• Tamago (Egg Sushi): A low-histidine option if prepared without added fish-based seasonings.
• Seaweed Salads: Check for hidden sauces; use the app to confirm ingredients.

Pro Tips for Safe Sushi Dining

• Ask About Sauces: Many sushi sauces contain fish stock or soy sauce (high in histidine). Use the app’s substitution feature to request alternatives like citrus or vinegar-based dressings.
• Avoid Processed Fish Products: Stick to fresh, low-histidine veggies and eggs.
• Double-Check Sides: Miso soup often contains fish-derived dashi—use the app to verify.

With the mm food app, histidine restrictions don’t mean missing out on sushi culture. Scan, translate, and dine with confidence!
