Patriez already knows from experience that finding gluten-free meals in Japan can sometimes feel like a treasure hunt. To avoid any culinary emergencies, we decided to test a selection of dry meals that we can prepare ourselves if needed—or simply when hunger strikes during a long walk!

And if history is any guide, our appetites tend to grow with every kilometre we cover. Some meals didn’t quite make the cut and were quickly crossed off the list. But a few pleasantly surprised us and have earned a spot in our backpack. It’s reassuring to know that, even in the middle of nowhere, a decent gluten-free meal may be only a splash of hot water away!
