How to say "Soy sauce contains wheat, so we can't eat soy sauce"?
How should I say "Soy sauce contains wheat, so we can't eat soy sauce"?
I would be saying this to servers in restaurants, so I would need to say it with the correct politeness for that context.
Here's what I've come up with:
しょゆ に こむぎ が ふくま れて います だから わたし たち は しょゆ が たべれません
Shoyu ni komugi ga fukuma rete imasu, dakara watashi tachi wa shoyu ga taberemasen.
Is this at all correct?
If it's obvious from the context can I omit the "watashi tachi wa"?
しょゆ に こむぎ が ふくま れて います だから しょゆ が たべれません
Shoyu ni komugi ga fukuma rete imasu, dakara shoyu ga taberemasen.
Thank you!

しょうゆ(醤油) "には" こむぎ(小麦)がふくまれて(含まれて)いるので
わたしたち(私たち)はいただけ(頂け)ません。
しょうゆ is a kind of flavoring, so たべる would be unsuitable here.
If you were talking about the food that soy sauce used, たべる would also be correct.
>If it's obvious from the context can I omit the "watashi tachi wa"?
Yes that's totally right. It's a very important thing for natural Japanese language.
But in this case ( I assume you and the people you with have an allergic to wheat or things like that ),
you shouldn't omit わたしたち.
Because わたしたち would be an important information there.
