Question
I’m planning to visit Japan and would love to try some local restaurants. However, I have a severe allergy to peanuts. How do I ask the staff “Does this dish contain peanuts?” in Japanese?

Kono ryouri ni piinattsu ga haitteimasu ka?
Does this dish contain peanuts?
This is a crucial question to ask if you have a food allergy and want to ensure your safety while dining out in Japan.
“Kono ryouri ni” means “in this dish”; “piinattsu” is the Japanese pronunciation of “peanuts”; “ga haitteimasu” means “are contained.” The phrase “haiっていますか” is used to ask whether something is included or present in a particular item.
This can be adapted for other allergens as well by replacing “piinattsu” with the Japanese word for the allergen in question. Stay cautious and enjoy your meal safely!
