I recently returned from a trip to Japan. I have celiac and have to eat gluten free. I am very sensitive and will get sick. Here is where I ate successfully:
General Info-
Starbucks soy latte was safe, as was the banana rice flour muffin and cake. I only ate the muffin if it was individually wrapped (sometimes it was unwrapped in the case). The cake had a layer of plastic on it, and I did eat it out of the case. I think the flavors of their rice flour products change with the seasons.
I purchased fruit, yogurt, and pudding from grocery stores and convenience stores. I ate Luna brand vanilla yogurt (small white and blue cup) and Ohoya baked pudding. I also ate the chip star brand potato chips (plain- in red tube).
I had access to a kitchen in Kawaguchiko and Nikko, so I didn't eat out there other than sweets/coffee.
