1. Informational Purposes Only
Can I Eat Japan? (“this site”, “we”) is a personal informational website that introduces restaurants in Japan for travelers with dietary requirements. All content is provided for general informational purposes only. Nothing on this site constitutes professional, legal, medical, or religious advice, and nothing on this site is a guarantee of any restaurant’s practices.
2. Accuracy of Information — No Warranties
We verify listings against primary sources (official certification lists, restaurants’ own websites and social media, or direct confirmation from restaurants) and display a “Last verified” date on every listing. However, restaurants can change their menus, ingredients, suppliers, certification status, opening hours, prices, or ownership at any time without notice.
Accordingly, all content on this site is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to accuracy, completeness, reliability, or fitness for a particular purpose. The presence of a label (such as “Certified Halal” or “Vegan”) reflects only what we were able to confirm on the verification date shown — it is not a guarantee of a restaurant’s current practices.
3. Use at Your Own Risk — Limitation of Liability
Your use of this site and your reliance on any information it contains is entirely at your own risk.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we accept no responsibility or liability whatsoever for any loss, damage, cost, or harm of any kind — including but not limited to direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, personal injury, illness, allergic reaction, or violation of personal dietary or religious requirements — arising out of or in connection with the use of this site, reliance on its content, or any visit to a restaurant listed on this site.
4. Dietary, Allergy & Religious Requirements — Always Confirm Directly
Dietary standards are personal. Interpretations of halal — particularly regarding seasoning alcohol such as mirin, or shared cooking equipment — vary between individuals, schools of thought, and certification bodies. We report facts; we do not make religious rulings.
If you have a food allergy or a medical dietary requirement, do not rely on this site alone. Always confirm ingredients directly with the restaurant before ordering. Every listing includes the restaurant’s name and address in Japanese so you can show it to staff and ask.
5. External Links & Embedded Content
This site contains links to, and embedded content from, external websites and services (including restaurant websites, Google Maps, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube). Such content is owned and controlled by third parties. We have no control over, and accept no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, availability, or privacy practices of any external site or service. Following a link or interacting with embedded content is at your own risk and subject to the third party’s own terms.
6. Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure
This site displays third-party advertisements (including Google AdSense) and may contain affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you book or purchase through links on this site, at no extra cost to you. The appearance of an advertisement does not constitute our endorsement of the advertised product or service.
Advertising and affiliate relationships never affect our labels or verification process: restaurants cannot pay to be listed, to remain listed, or to receive a better label.
7. Intellectual Property
Original text and images on this site are our property and may not be reproduced without permission. Embedded third-party content (maps, social media posts, videos) remains the property of its respective owners and is displayed via the official embedding functions those platforms provide.
8. Corrections
If you find information that is outdated or incorrect, please report it via our contact form. We aim to re-verify reported listings within 72 hours. This commitment is made in good faith and does not create any legal obligation or liability.
9. Changes to This Disclaimer
We may update this disclaimer at any time without notice. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows the current version. By continuing to use this site, you accept this disclaimer in its current form. If you do not accept it, please do not use this site.
