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 :)

Fears in Japan that you didn't have in your home country?

I've written a number of blogs here on City-Cost about how bears are a real worry in my area these days, and it's something that I didn't have to concern myself with in my home country. I know people talk about snakes and spiders in Australia being deadly (and yes, there are some types that are), but they're not typically going to come and attack you unprovoked. Also, it's a lot easier to outrun a snake or a spider than a bear ;) I'm curious about the rest of you, if you have fears here that maybe weren't present in your country of origin. Let me know in the comments!

Christmas - shopping, meals, etc. - how are we faring?

I saw a press release this morning from FamilyMart, which promoted their festive season eats but also covered a survey about spending. The survey mentioned most people planning to celebrate Christmas at home aim to spend less than 5,000 yen on food. How does your budget look in comparison to that? Do you go all out for Christmas here if it was something you celebrated in your home country, or is it a quieter celebration owing to it not being an official holiday here? How about Christmas shopping? Have you got strict budgets in place, and have you completed your shopping or are you still looking for bits and pieces for people?
