Great gluten-free ramen and vegan and gluten-free gyoza. They saved my dinner, and it was a great rescue 😋😋😋 They don't guarantee contamination since they don't have separate kitchens, but they proved to be attentive and prepared. I highly recommend it 😊

A rare gem! The chef is extremely kind and adapts perfectly to dietary needs. He specially prepared a vegan broth for me and served other gluten-intolerant guests with a special sauce as well. Lunch was delicious, everything freshly prepared before our eyes. The chef works hard, and it shows in his kitchen. The restaurant's atmosphere is very peaceful! We highly recommend it.

Could not recommend this place more! Especially if you are gluten free! Not only is the sushi incredible, but they also have gluten free soy sauce which was a blessing to find. The atmosphere is great, cozy and peaceful. The staff are some of the friendliest people I have met, it was so good we had to come back again for our last meal in Kyoto!

Great quality dessert. I am gluten free and could order a dessert. However, many of the options include almond flour. If you have a nut allergy, please be careful.

Gluten-free Taiyaky, at 300 yen (306 if consumed on site) the cream one and the special caramel edition are delicious. The ice cream is also excellent, vanilla or matcha tea, with scraps of taiyaki dough. Unfindable place without Google Maps, simply because it is off the main roads, but a two-minute walk from the subway station, it is definitely worth it.

Very tasty food with gluten free options. The service is slower than the typical ramen-style restaurants where they get you in and out quickly but that didn't bother us.

Great Yakiniku reataurant! My partner have celiac disease and they mark in the meny if the dish is glutenfree or not. We ordered one dish with gluten and the chef noticed it and the waitress asked if we still wanted it (it was for me so it was fine) The food was great - Highly recommend this place!
