  Maybe these phrases will help you in a restaurant: "私はゴマアレルギーを持っています." - watashi wa goma arerugi wo mottei imasu - I have a 'sesame' allergy. "この商品にゴマまたは、ゴマのペーストはつかわれていますか？" - kono shouhin ni goma mata wa goma no paste wa tsukawareteimasu ka? - Does this product use sesame or sesame paste? Apologies if you already knew the Japanese.

  Do you read Japanese? There are guides you can buy in Japanese for Tokyo that list restaurants that are safe for each type of allergen.

  I've heard good things about these allergy cards: https://equaleats.com/collections/sesame-allergy/products/digital-sesame-allergy-translation-card You can pick the language you need (obviously Japanese in this case, but the site could be helpful with other languages in the future!) and there is the option for a digital download so you could print and laminate it and have it ready to go.
