Easing Your Dining-Out Worries: Our Sincere Approach to Allergies

'I love eating out, but I always struggle to choose a restaurant because of my allergies.' 'I feel anxious when menus don't have allergy information.' 'I feel bad about having to tell the staff.' Many customers feel this way. A meal should be a joyful, fulfilling time. However, for those with allergies, it can sometimes become a major source of stress and worry.

In particular, dishes that utilize Hokkaido's rich ingredients often use a wide variety of materials, which can complicate allergen identification. For example, even a single dish made with fresh seafood cannot completely rule out the possibility of hidden allergens. At 'Daily Hokkaido Food Fair,' we deeply understand these customer concerns and our entire staff works diligently every day to resolve them. Providing an environment where customers can dine with confidence is one of our most important missions.

We strive to provide as much information as possible and respond flexibly so that each and every customer can safely enjoy Hokkaido's delicious cuisine. By addressing this issue sincerely, we are taking concrete measures to ensure that our customers can fully enjoy their time at 'Daily Hokkaido Food Fair.'

Ensuring Allergies Don't Stand in the Way of Our Customers' Smiles

  • Deeply understanding customer anxieties about allergies when dining out
  • Careful consideration for allergen identification when using diverse Hokkaido ingredients
  • Operating our restaurants with customer safety and smiles as our top priority

Our Allergy-Friendly Measures at 'Daily Hokkaido Food Fair'

At 'Daily Hokkaido Food Fair,' we take a multi-faceted approach to allergy management to ensure our customers can dine with peace of mind. Here, we introduce our specific solutions based on three key pillars. We listen to customer feedback and continuously strive to improve our services.

Transparent Disclosure of Detailed Allergen Information

We are committed to providing as much detailed information as possible about the ingredients used in each menu item, including the 28 major allergens. In addition to listing them on the menu, we are also prepared to provide more detailed ingredient lists and information on seasonings used in the cooking process upon request. We believe that providing accurate and easy-to-understand allergen information is our responsibility, as it is a crucial resource for customers to make their own informed decisions.

  • Thoroughly displaying the 28 major allergens for each menu item
  • Providing more detailed ingredient lists upon customer request
  • Making information available on seasonings and condiments used

Careful Consultation and Suggestions from Knowledgeable Staff

When a customer consults us about allergies, our specially trained staff will respond with care. We don't just confirm 'what you can't eat'; we listen carefully to the severity of your allergy and the specific ingredients you need to avoid. Based on this, we suggest the most suitable menu items. In some cases, we can arrange existing menu items, and if special handling is required, we will coordinate with the head chef to propose alternative dishes.

  • Dedicated staff carefully listen to each customer's specific allergy situation
  • Offering flexible menu arrangements and alternatives tailored to customer needs
  • Close collaboration with the head chef to provide safe meals

Meticulous Care and Precaution in the Kitchen

One of the most critical parts of allergy management is taking meticulous care during the cooking process. We implement measures to prevent cross-contamination, such as separating cooking utensils and workspaces for ingredients with and without allergens, and thoroughly washing all equipment. For customers with severe allergies, we take every possible precaution, including rigorous cleaning before preparation and using new cooking utensils. This commitment is enforced as a common hygiene management standard across all our locations, including 'Donan Norin Suisanbu Nishiki,' 'Donan Nishiki,' and 'Donan Fushimi.'

  • Preventing cross-contamination by using separate utensils and thorough cleaning
  • Considering individual cooking arrangements for severe allergies

  3. Don't hesitate to ask if you're unsure about the menu:
    If you have any questions or concerns while looking at the menu, please feel free to speak with our staff at any time. A knowledgeable team member will offer specific menu suggestions tailored to your needs and explain which dishes can be modified.
