Safe & Savory: Your Buckwheat-Free Izakaya Handbook

Craving authentic izakaya vibes but navigating a buckwheat allergy? Japanese pub dining doesn’t have to involve menu roulette. Discover how to savor robata grill skewers, crispy karaage, and izakaya classics without fear, powered by mm food – your pocket translator and allergy guardian.

Why Buckwheat Hides Everywhere

Contrary to popular belief, soba noodles aren’t the sole threat. Buckwheat often lurks in:

• Tempura batters
• Miso-based sauces
• Japchae glass noodles
• Okonomiyaki pancake toppings
• Some tofu preparations
  Without Japanese fluency or allergy expertise, navigating this becomes overwhelming. Enter mm food: instant menu translation meets AI-powered allergen detection.
