Sushi Safely: Dining Out with Histidine Restrictions Made Simple

Navigating sushi menus with histidine restrictions can feel like decoding a foreign language while walking a dietary tightrope. Fish, soy sauce, and fermented ingredients—common in Japanese cuisine—are often high in histidine, turning a dining adventure into an anxiety-inducing experience. But with the mm food app, you can confidently enjoy restaurant dining without compromising your health needs.

Your Personal Sushi Interpreter & Dietary Detective

mm food tackles two major hurdles simultaneously:

  1. Instant Menu Translation: Point your camera at any sushi menu for real-time translation into your native language, dissolving language barriers.
  2. Histidine Restriction Scanner: Set your dietary profile (including custom restrictions like histidine limits), and our AI cross-references every dish’s ingredients against your requirements. Instantly see safe options highlighted!

How It Works at Your Next Sushi Outing

  1. Set Your Profile: Input "histidine restriction" in the app’s diet settings (choose from presets or create a custom restriction).
  2. Scan the Menu: Use the camera feature to capture and translate the sushi menu.
  3. Get Safe Recommendations: The AI flags low-histidine dishes (like cucumber rolls or tamagoyaki) and warns about high-risk items (tuna, mackerel, soy sauce-based dishes).
  4. Ask the Kitchen Confidently: Use the app’s ingredient breakdown to request modifications (e.g., "no eel sauce, sub gluten-free tamari").

Pro Tips for Histidine-Conscious Sushi Lovers

  • Focus on Veggie Options: Avocado rolls, kampyo gourd, and pickled radish are typically safer.
  • Avoid Fermented Items: Skip miso soup, fermented soy sauces, and fish-heavy sushi.
  • Communicate Clearly: Share the app’s safety icons with staff—they show dietary needs visually across languages.

Don’t let restrictions steal the joy of dining out. With mm food, you’ll uncover delicious, compliant sushi choices and reclaim your restaurant freedom—one safe, satisfying bite at a time.
