Talent Sayaka Isoyama (42), after appearing in Nippon TV’s “The! Sekai Gyouten News” allergy-testing segment, posted on X about her experience of developing symptoms just from someone eating next to her. This sparked a wave of replies on 5ch, with users sharing their own experiences of feeling ill from things like the steam off soba noodles, the smell of garlic, or even the smell of alcohol being drunk beside them. Meanwhile, opinion split between those who insisted that crab sticks (kani kama) don’t actually contain crab, and those who pointed out that “crab extract” is often used for flavoring.

Can't be helped. I'm allergic to rice, vegetables, and fish, so Japanese food is a total no-go for me. I can only eat burgers from A&W, McDonald's, or Burger King.
Huh? What is?
There's nothing you need to do about this at all.
What exactly is such a pain here?
Apparently that is an allergy.
What would happen if she ate crab ramen?
Just smelling peperoncino being made at a pasta place has my scalp pouring sweat like a waterfall, like I just took a shower.
I actually like spicy food, but I can't eat it at restaurants.
Same here.
Just picking shishito peppers in my garden makes my head start sweating.
I've got over 100 allergies, and moth scales are one of them, so just having a moth nearby sets me off too.
Reacting just from being in the same space sounds rough.
So if that's giving her a crab allergy reaction, she's definitely putting on an act lol
Some of them do use crab extract though!
I get reacting to the smell of boiling crab, but
is crab stick a problem too?
Someone who knows, fill me in
The smell of boiled crab gets me, but I've never once gotten itchy from crab sticks.
If it uses crab extract, it can happen.
It even produced that allergy elite Kano, who spent 300,000 yen getting tested.
This guy's with the show.
Advertising.
and can't go to Japanese restaurants that serve soba anymore.
Even without eating any, the steam alone triggers an attack.
What really surprised us was when I went to an authentic soba shop and came home — apparently it had gotten on my clothes and body, and my mom, who was just at home, had an attack from that.
Ever since, soba shops are off-limits for the whole family, and if we absolutely have to go, we head straight to the laundry and bath the moment we get home.
Doesn't she have an EpiPen?
If it's gotten that serious, that's worrying.
"Crab extract," derived from crab shells and the like, is used to create the crab flavor.
That's probably it.
・゜・(ノД`)・人( ´ Д )・゜・ﾅｶｰﾏ (fellow sufferer) Even burning off the alcohol in cooking sake is rough for me.
If I had a wheat allergy on top of everything, there'd be nothing left I could eat.
Guess I'd have to survive on meat alone…
Tortillas for every meal, then.
Eating a lot of something can sometimes make an allergy suddenly kick in out of nowhere.
Background and Key Points of This Discussion
Nippon TV’s “The! Sekai Gyouten News” allergy-testing segment has drawn big reactions before, with episodes featuring detailed celebrity test results becoming hot topics. This time, the focus was on cases where symptoms appear just from inhaling a smell or vapor without eating anything — and there are indeed medically documented cases of people reacting to vaporized compounds from things like soba broth, alcohol, or garlic. Where opinions on the thread split was over “crab sticks” (kanikama): while they don’t actually contain real crab meat, some products add “crab extract” for flavoring, and the easily-overlooked fact is that people with crab allergies could unknowingly eat it if they don’t check the ingredient label. There was also a story like Ogi from Ogiyahagi’s, who happily ate crab for years before suddenly developing an allergy — a reminder that food allergies can also appear suddenly later in life.
