Is sushi gluten free?

Sushi. It seems like such a simple gluten-free meal option, however it includes many hidden mistakes.

I go back and forth with it. When I initially went gluten-free in 2011 I relied greatly on the Japanese special, and the one roll at the one sushi dining establishment that I had vetted.

But after investing a week in Japan last fall, it fell back into favor with me. In fact, I believe I just decided exactly what's for supper tonight.

Back to those mistakes.

There's so much more to eating gluten-free sushi than preventing soy sauce (however please do not eat the soy sauce). Gluten is hidden in everything from the sushi itself, to the sauces that top it, to the kick of heat we contribute to it.
