Dashi is the cornerstone of Japanese cuisine and is used in many/most Japanese dishes. Please note that we may not be able to accommodate your dietary needs if you cannot consume dashi. Additionally, please inform us if you can eat eggs and dairy products. - If you cannot consume Dashi, we recommend booking a private tour with us and we can offer some alternatives.
