Where is the best place to find gluten free product in Tokyo?

Sometimes I saw it in chain supermarket for like a month and then it was discontinued. Do you know any places that sell gluten free product regularly?

In my experience, your best bet for consistent availability is gonna be either Amazon, or taking a DIY route: AMIKA chain grocers (I believe they're generally a restaurant supply sort of space, but they're nice for buying things in larger than normal quantities) have gluten free flour alternatives for baking (1 part tapioca starch / 1 part potato starch / 2 parts rice flour will do you well for general baking)

I guess, buying on Amazon is my best option.

This whole realm has come so far in the last 10 years, but if you just search for グルテンフリー東京 there are lots of places that come up. So much easier to dine out, too :)

Japan features that would be a bug in your country? And the opposite?

What features in Japan's culture would be considered a bug in your home country? Or the other way around - an aspect of daily life in your home country that wouldn't fly here in Japan? I've got one. In Japan, many sliding doors in industrial and institutional buildings are designed to make noise. The rattle indicates comings and goings. I worked in institutional buildings in Canada with silent doors and soft closing mechanisms.

Reflections on our home countries after living in Japan

I think one thing living in Japan has given me is an appreciation of things my country does really well, and things it doesn't do so well in comparison to here. For instance, I think Australia is great with annual leave entitlements. You get four weeks automatically (some workplaces offer even more!) and there's not any guilt associated with taking it. Something we don't do so well is public transport. I know that Australia is a massive country, but there has been talk of creating a high speed rail option from Melbourne to Sydney for ages, and nothing has ever come of it. It's basically an 8 hour drive or flying. Also, inner city trains are regularly not on time. What are the things you think your home country does better or worse than Japan?

Hair Color Treatments for Greying Hair

For those of you who have colored grey hair, I'm curious about the hair color treatments available in most drugstores. They seem simpler to use than box dyes. It's been many years since I've colored my hair. It's a chestnut brown and my grey is more silver. I don't hate it but the grey is dry and making me feel like I look older than I am. I'm especially interested in the natural brands that are non-permanent. For example Rishiri Kombu sounds like a decent option. Looking forward to your recommendations and experience.
