Shake Shack Tokyo Dome
Location: Bunkyo City, Japan
“This is another great American chain you can find in Tokyo! Their allergen menu is really helpful, and there are very limited nuts.”
Natural Lawson
Location: Chiyoda City, Japan
“Very similar to 7-Eleven and Family Mart! It has a large selection of snacks, breakfast, and so much more, and there aren’t many products with nuts. I got a packaged onigiri here!”
Wako Tonkatsu Akiba 8th Floor
Location: Chiyoda City, Japan
“LOVED this katsu restaurant! Their menu is very limited, and there didn’t seem to be anything with nuts. I got the pork cutlet meal! Our waiter was really helpful too—I gave her my allergy cards and she told me that what I got was safe for me!”
Din Tai Fung – Tokyo Station Yaesu Entrance
Location: Chiyoda City, Japan
“I love eating at Din Tai Fung in the States, so I was so happy to see that I could eat at the ones in Japan safely too! I gave my allergy card to the waiter, who told me that the only dish with nuts was a peanut noodle dish, which worked out for me because I’m only allergic to tree nuts. We got their classic xiao long bao, pork fried rice, and cucumber appetizer!”
FamilyMart
Location: Chuo City, Japan
“Such a great place to grab food and snacks! You do have to Google Translate everything, but they have a very large selection and limited products with nuts. I got fresh fruit, snacks, and even donuts here safely!”
McDonald’s
Location: Chuo City, Japan
“Great for a quick American meal! Very similar menu to the US with lots of familiar items. This was a great place for me to get a safe breakfast. They have an allergen menu online, although it does only follow the Japanese allergen labeling standards.”
The Royal Park Hotel Tokyo Shiodome
Location: Minato City, Japan
“Great place to stay! The breakfast buffet isn’t very allergy-friendly, but our room came with a mini fridge, which came in use. It’s also really close to the subway station and a Family Mart!”
Setagaya Ramen
Location: Ota City, Japan
“This isn’t the best ramen you can find in Tokyo, but it was safe for my tree nut allergy. I got the miso ramen, and it’s a safe choice for food in the Haneda airport!”
Tsurutontan Haneda Airport
Location: Ota City, Japan
“Haneda airport was so accommodating! I was able to eat at both Setagaya Ramen and Tonkatsu Wako. They were also very accommodating and let me pre-board to wipe the airplane seat down for my allergies!”
Miyashita Cafe
Location: Shibuya, Japan
“I was so excited to find safe soft serve! I got vanilla soft serve with a strawberry on top. It’s definitely a richer and creamier soft serve, which was really interesting to try, and they have very limited/no products with nuts.”
Ginka Do
Location: Taito City, Japan
“Such a cute strawberry stand! I got strawberry and vanilla swirl soft serve in a cup with strawberries. There are nuts in the cookie they usually put on top, so make sure to ask for that to be removed. The staff was very helpful, though—the girl making my ice cream remade it three times to make sure that it was safe for me!”
Kaiten Sushi Ginza Onodera
Location: Tokyo, Japan
“This was hands down my favorite place I ate at in Tokyo! All of the sushi is really high quality, well-priced, delicious, and allergy-friendly. They have a really helpful allergy menu, although it does follow Japanese allergy labeling standards. I did not see anything on the menu with nuts.”
Tokyo DisneySea
Location: Urayasu, Japan
“It was very easy for me to find safe foods at DisneySea! They have allergy menus online for every food they sell. However, they only show you the allergies that Japan is required to label, even if you ask them in person. I was able to get the iconic gyoza sausage bun, seashell ice cream, and soy sauce-flavored popcorn!”
