Gluten-Free Udon! (Order Rice Udon Online!)

So you're gluten-free, living in Japan, and you want to eat udon? Well, you're out of luck. Udon is basically gooey strips of wheat. However, you can buy a safe gluten-free udon alternative and eat it while your normal friends eat real udon next to you. It wont help you when you're out at a restaurant, but if you want to vaguely get a sense of what eating udon might sort of be like, order some rice udon and give it a try at home!


うどんは小麦粉で作られる麺ですから、もちろんグルテンがいっぱい入っていますよ。１００％小麦粉のうどんは普通ですね。セリアック病患者およびグルテン不耐症の人は必ず食べません。しかし、１００％米粉うどんもインターネットで注文できるみたい！見た目や味が本物のうどんと違うかも知れないけど、グルテンフリー人にはそれしかないですので、おすすめにしてください。下記のリンクをクリックすると、ウェッブで注文できます。小麦粉うどんも食べる人が米粉うどんを食べてみて、違い点を教えて頂ければ感謝しますよ。もし食べたことがあったら、下にコメントで報告して下さいませんか。

Visit Kobayashiseimen dot JP for your rice udon!

Caveat: the website is in Japanese... But you can get a pretty good idea of what is included in each product just by looking at the pictures. Some of the udon even come with a dipping sauce or broth, all of which are also gluten-free.

Some vocabulary that might be useful on the website:
米粉　　　komeko     rice flour
うどん　　udon         udon
そうめん　soumen     somen (thinner version of udon)
めんつゆ　mentsuyu   noodle sauce
スープ        su-pu         soup

Once you decide on what you want to buy, enlist a Japanese person to help you with the ordering process. 

日本語で注文するのは難しので、外国人の友達に手伝ってあげたら助かると思います！

If you really need me to outline the steps, leave a comment below, and if there's enough demand, I will make a tutorial for it.

Don't know everything you possibly could about udon? Here's a video about udon and gluten! PS: In these videos I am required to explain things while hula hooping... lol

ビデオもありますので、見てみて下さい！よかったら、友達にもシェアーしてね～
