Eliminating Allergy Concerns When Dining Out at Umedacho Izakaya

Umedacho Izakaya's Specific Initiatives for Allergy Accommodation

At Umedacho Izakaya, we implement the following specific measures to ensure our customers can enjoy delicious meals with complete peace of mind. Our entire staff exercises the utmost care for your safety and satisfaction.

Thorough Consultation by Staff with Specialized Allergy Knowledge

When you inform us of allergies at the time of reservation or upon your arrival, our staff with specialized knowledge will listen attentively to your concerns. We will inquire in detail about the type and severity of your allergies, specific ingredients to avoid, and also ingredients you can safely enjoy, aiming for a consultation that also considers your broader dietary preferences.

• We will specifically confirm the type of your allergy, such as the 7 specific raw materials or 21 recommended items.
• We will inquire about the severity of your symptoms and whether even trace amounts of cross-contamination could trigger a reaction.
• Beyond allergenic ingredients, we will also ask about any disliked foods or cooking methods to ensure we provide a truly satisfying dining experience.

Rigorous Management from Ingredient Selection to Cooking Process

To deliver safe dishes to our customers, rigorous management is indispensable at every stage, from ingredient procurement to cooking. At Umedacho Izakaya, we precisely track information for carefully selected ingredients like fresh Omi beef and seasonal seafood, exercising extreme caution with any ingredients that could potentially cause allergies.

• We consistently confirm and record allergy information for all ingredients provided by our suppliers.
• We separate storage areas for allergenic ingredients from others to prevent cross-contamination.
• During allergy-specific cooking, we implement thorough measures such as using dedicated cooking utensils and separate preparation areas to minimize the risk of cross-contamination. While Moriyama Robatayaki is characterized by its simple cooking methods, we also consider precautions like using dedicated grills and tongs when grilling over charcoal.

Flexible Menu Suggestions and Personalized Service Tailored to Our Customers

It's disheartening when your culinary options are limited due to allergies. At Umedacho Izakaya, after listening to your needs, we can arrange existing menu items or, at times, suggest special dishes exclusively for you. We respond flexibly to each customer's situation, offering dishes designed to pair perfectly with Moriyama sake or cooking methods that bring out the maximum umami of Omi beef.

• We can consider offering standard course meals with allergenic ingredients omitted.
• We may also suggest separate, delicious, and safe menu options utilizing alternative ingredients.
• For Moriyama Robatayaki, it is possible to select specific seafood or vegetables with allergy considerations in mind and grill them exclusively for you.

Before Your Visit: A Preparation and Consultation Guide for Peace of Mind

At Umedacho Izakaya, we are fully committed to accommodating our customers' allergies, and the information you provide helps us deliver even more reliable and safe service. Please review and cooperate with the following points before your visit.

What to Communicate When Making a Reservation

For allergy accommodation, advance preparation and confirmation are extremely important. Please note that last-minute changes on the day may be difficult, especially on weekends, holidays, or during anticipated busy periods. We would greatly appreciate it if you could provide as many details as possible when making your reservation.

1. Type of Allergy and Specific Ingredients: Please provide detailed information, such as egg white allergy or egg yolk allergy, rather than just egg allergy. Also, accurately list specific ingredients like buckwheat, peanuts, crustaceans (shrimp, crab), dairy products, wheat, or soy.
2. Severity of Symptoms and Sensitivity to Trace Amounts: If you have a severe allergy that could lead to anaphylaxis, please inform us explicitly. It is also crucial to know if even trace amounts of cross-contamination could trigger a reaction.
3. Ingredients You Can Eat and Preferred Genres (in addition to those to avoid): Information such as I'd like to eat this or I enjoy this type of cuisine beyond your allergenic ingredients will greatly assist us in tailoring your menu.
4. Allergies of Dining Companions: If anyone else in your party has allergies, please also provide that information.

Confirmation Upon Arrival and Tips for a Safer Dining Experience

Upon entering or when placing your order, please kindly re-confirm your allergies with our staff as a precaution. If you have any questions or concerns about the dishes served, please do not hesitate to speak to a staff member. For your safety, if you carry medication to alleviate allergy symptoms, we strongly recommend bringing it with you when you visit.

One of Umedacho Izakaya's proud offerings is Moriyama Robatayaki. Its simple cooking method allows you to fully savor the natural flavors of the ingredients. This simplicity is also a significant advantage when it comes to allergy accommodation.

• For Robatayaki, it is relatively easy to prepare specific seafood or vegetables with allergy considerations, based on your requests. We can thoroughly inspect ingredients before grilling and serve them exclusively to you.
• Omi beef also lends itself to various cooking methods that highlight its premium quality. We can adjust the grilling style and seasoning to ensure guests with allergies can enjoy it safely and deliciously.
