As someone living in Japan who has gluten problems, I'm in danger!
Edit: who downvotes this? I can't eat gluten which leaves potatoes, rice, technically pure soba (but it's often contaminated), and some very other niche grains.

Will Japan still be above sea level?
The vast majority of it, yes. Depending upon sea level rise's rate, I may find myself inside the tsunami hazard zone (I live a few km off the coast), but probably not until I'm much older if it even happens in my lifetime.
Wheat, rye, and barley are the only foods that contain gluten, without contamination. So your list should be quite a bit longer than those 4 options. (Oats [these are often contaminated unfortunately], corn, millet, sorghum, tapioca, ..., insert endless list of food here)
A member of my household had to be on a gluten free diet for some time. I was initially very surprised by how easy it was to adjust.
Finding those in Japan is another matter. Corn is available (I'm growing it this year as well) and I do ocassionally get corn tortillas but those are basically a luxury item. I even looked into possibly growing sorghum. I use tapioca starch in some recipes for texture and flexibility, but it's expensive. I do eat oats as well, but those are getting expensive and they mainly sit in my mind as something to be eaten on their own not as part of a meal.
For corn and oats, I can't think of those as the main carb in a meal; it just doesn't work for me (except, as mentioned, when oatmeal itself is the meal).
shit sucks, friend. 
Does lemmy have an equivalent of /r/collapse?
etc.
Thanks!
You mean for them using the search function for you?
Sadly, yes. I searched but apparently fat fingered. I found it now.
you’ll have to tell us which one is the best :)
