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 :)

Japanese names you love?

I blogged yesterday about this year's top baby names in Japan, and there was quite a focus on nature and calmness in the most popular picks. I was wondering if there are any Japanese names you love for the meaning behind them. Maybe you have a friend, coworker, or even family member with a beautiful name. I'd be happy to hear what it is, and why you like it so much!
