Top 50 Gluten-Free Celiac Friendly Spots to Explore in Tokyo

The interior of the restaurant is filled with greenery and has a warm, homey atmosphere that makes it very comfortable to spend time in. It seemed like there were a lot of couples there. When I went around 4pm, I was able to get in without having to wait, and my food came out quickly. The seiro set meal had already sold out, so I ordered the one soup and three side dishes set meal. The amount seemed a little small for the price, but it seemed good for my health. They also sold gluten-free cookies inside the restaurant. I'd like to go again.

Fun little vegan and gluten-free cafe. The staff working were friendly and kind. It is a small place and the serves are to the smaller side, too. Maybe more of a snack and treat spot I’d say. We came for lunch and had a pizza and burger plus cake and smoothies and drinks and weren’t full after. The rainbow cake looks beautiful, but wasn’t too flavorful. Tiramisu was more enjoyable. Great alternative cafe if on the search for gluten-free and vegan or dairyfree sweat and savory treats!

Delicious gluten-free pancakes! They arrived hot, fresh, and full of flavor — definitely one of the better gluten-free options we’ve had. The texture was soft and fluffy, not dry or crumbly like many gluten-free versions. Service was quick, and everything came out fast and warm. It is quite expensive for what you get, but if you’re looking for a tasty gluten-free treat, it’s definitely worth trying at least once.

This place was so incredible, I couldn’t resist coming back a second time during my trip. The Dan Dan udon, curry udon, and mushroom tempura are all must-tries. Gluten-free food doesn’t always get the credit it deserves, but this spot truly delivers whether you’re GF or not.

I had a delicious gluten-free ramen. The broth was perhaps a little lacking in flavor for my taste, but I still liked it. It's wonderful to be able to enjoy a gluten-free option at Tokyo Station.

Excellent place for people with celiac disease! Everything is gluten-free and delicious. We tried the pepperoni pizza, a baguette, a bacon braid, and a kind of vegan curry-filled bun. It's a small takeout place, although there are a couple of benches outside where you can eat. The guy is very friendly and speaks perfect English. 100% recommended, but we recommend getting there early because they're so fast.

Cat Rob

They did not notify us that the “gluten free” tempura was cooked in the same fryer so unfortunately I ate some, and I’m celiac 🤦🏼‍♀️ kinda ruined my night and left me wondering if everything else was as safe as they claimed

John Challis

I came here last year and again this year, best gluten free ramen in the world!

Went there today for a quick lunch and got a hummus sandwich for takeaway. I will tell you it was so so good! There's fresh veggies inside and the bread is phenomenal. I wish I could have this every day 😊 the staff are incredibly sweet so I felt like I was at home. If you're vegan and gluten free this is a great option !

Lillian Johnson

Holy cow!! What an incredible meal. To be anywhere in the world, let alone Japan, and have an entirely gluten free meal is a real treat. I can’t even eat like this in the massive American city where I live. This was dreamy. Incredible food and service in an intimate and comfortable space. Very affordable for what you get. 1,000,000/10!!!!

Fantastic food and sake!

Dana

My friend is gluten-free, therefore she was really happy with the wide selection. I tried the sesame ramen, but it was really bland, and the little bit of soy meat tasted like nothing

Kai Elizondo (KaiKai)

my family and i had the great privilege of dining at the teppanbaby. my celiac mother had an amazing meal and my little brother ate some amazing chicken and rice. the staff is AMAZING and definitely a highlight of my trip!!

Mouyan Curry is located in Kabukicho, Shinjuku. It's great to be able to eat gluten-free curry. I ordered the three-meat curry (beef tendon, pork, and dry). The two potatoes, fukujinzuke pickles, smoked pickled radish, and onion and rakkyo are all self-service and I was full.

Emily Hunt

Had lunch here today, phenomenal curry. Our waitress informed us the cafe is closing for 2 months and will only serve coffee and gluten free cake going forward. No more meals.

I visited L for You AOYAMA, a gluten-free cafe for intestinal health in Omotesando. I've been eating and drinking a lot these past few days, so I came here to give my stomach a rest (^^)... I had burdock and mushroom intestinal health soy milk soup, a plate of brown rice and vegetables, and pomegranate green tea. I'm so happy it's gentle on my stomach...no guilt... It also came with a small banana bound cake, so I was very satisfied! Thank you for the meal (^_^)!

I happened to come across a gluten-free bakery so I went there with my husband. Everything looked delicious and it was hard to choose. The staff were friendly and very likable. When I received the bread, some were warm and I couldn't resist, so I tried them on a bench in a nearby square. They were plump and had the aroma of rice flour and were delicious. I'm going to buy some more now. I hope they still have some left.

Jørgen Sandhaug

Amazing gluten free pistacchio cake and cheesecake. Fresh juice, not too sweet. Quiet and comfortable. Will definitely come back! Edit: Have been here three times now, would 100% recommend this place!

Elena Cogo

Chiffon cake very good and gluten free!!

Michelle Malpas-green

We specifically visited this place so my coeliac partner could order off the menu. We were not disappointed, plenty of GF options and he said the pizza was delicious. We also tried a mix of the chicken wings and they were also delicious. We went quite early so were the only ones there. Marks down for service only because the welcome wasn't super warm and the American man who works or owns the place seemed quite frosty. The woman who served us was very pleasant and polite. I would recommend the food here ☺️

Sapphire Suzuki

Fukuda was amazing with gluten intolerance, I could cry. He literally walked me through every item that I could eat safely. The food was also amazing! 10/10 would come back!

Zach Dorsett

Delicious gluten free churros!

Saved our trip! My son is gluten free, and Japan (largely) is not. It was very hard to find food for him, and other gluten free shops either weren’t really gluten free, or just tasted bad, had very small menus, or were closed when they said they were open. But Biossa had exactly what we needed. Good, fresh, delicious gluten free bread, muffins, baguettes, and croissants! That way we could pack and carry the breads around Tokyo, so my son could eat almost anywhere (by swapping out the provided breads with these gluten free ones). Game-changing. Thanks Biossa!

Sebastien “Seb”

Beautiful little cafe. The waitresses are adorable. The banana break and waffles are to die for, delicious, and all gluten-free. I highly recommend it.

Harsha P

loved the gluten free bread and hot choclate

Graham Haas

This place is amazing. A quick walk from Kichijōji station, there's several pleasant spots to tuck in and eat. My wife is celiac and she had a life-restoring Ratatouille moment of eating a cake and creampuff unlike anything she had eaten since she was young in Europe and able to have gluten. Thank you so much for a great treat!

Great caramel Gluten free Churro

Atmosphere was chill and lounge-y like a hip living room or speak easy from the 1920s. Felt like a secret 一言こだわりclub. It was 80% foreigners a from all over the world, so we felt comfortable speaking and laughing at normal sound levels without worrying about disturbing others. The Japanese there seemed happy to have lively foreigners - unlike a lot of places in Japan these days. Also, there was another restaurant nearby that had a sign that said VEGAN but later said “sorry that’s just “design””. This restaurant doesn’t just have a vegan menu, but rather can make vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, or MEAT versions of almost everything on their menu!

I’ve ordered food from here twice already because the first time I was totally blown away by how soft and perfect the gluten free croissants are. Everything about this place is just flawless. I honestly can only recommend it! This spot will definitely be the thing I miss the most when I leave Tokyo.

Nicole i

This was an unexpected delight! After days of having to be very careful they helped me have a gluten, soy, dairy, and pineapple free lunch. It was fresh and fantastic! The owner and her mother treated us like they were cooking for family. Loved our time here and will be back.

Fernanda Velazquez

Increíbles!!! El sabor es estupendo, muy diferente a todo y no hay contaminación cruzada. Más que recomendable

Areti Gkini

Very nice and friendly environment, I was searching one more time a gluten free (celiac) place with good sushi and I found it! I showed my translated paper with the information about my disease and they made me an amazing sushi!

Vanessa Recio Huertas

An incredible gluten-free ramen, full of flavor and reasonably priced. The gyozas were also quite tasty.

Benjamin Cawdery

If you’re gluten free you should definitely come here! If you aren’t you should come any way! The food was incredible and the staff were so friendly. And they were very kind and caring about my allergy. The atmosphere is great, it feels completely authentic. We loved it

Valerie Leeds

I enjoyed my green salad very much. The balance of all the green veggies, with the smallest pop of a red lettuce in it was excellent. The dressing was a outstanding pesto, which I almost wished for more of, however I was so glad to be able to taste and appreciate each of my vegetables individually, again harmony. The tiramisu was vegan and gf, as were all the desserts. This dessert was great as a df gf customer. What we would have liked more of, a few more gluten free options on the savory menu. The green salad was the solitary option. No soup or warm food was gluten free on the entire menu. Many vegan people would like this choice. I am celiac, and found your restaurant on Atly, a gluten free restaurant App. It would only enhance the menu to have 1 soup and 1 warm meal. This would raise the stars to 5 stars!🌟

My wife and I had one night in Tokyo in our travels and made a reservation at Sushi Korin. Our flight was delayed and we had to miss our reservation. We notified the restaurant that we would miss our reservation and Chef Masatomo responded with one of the most remarkable acts of service and kindness we have experienced from a restaurant. Chef Masatomo, his wife Aiko, and one of their staff members hand delivered our sushi to us at 1 a.m. at our hotel near the HND airport. The sushi was phenomenal and this has become one of our most memorable and shared stories from our travels. Additionally, my wife and I unable to eat gluten which makes an omakase style sushi meal quite difficult. Chef Masatomo went above and beyond to ensure our sushi was delicious and safe for us to eat. We cannot thank Chef Masatomo, Aiko, and the staff at Sushi Korin enough. We will certainly return (and this time to the actual restaurant) next time we are in Tokyo!

Emma Lamomd

Really loved this place! I’m a very sensitive coeliac but despite the small risk of cross contamination I was totally fine and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. I even ordered a dessert crepe afterwards seeing as the ice cream was gf too! Service was quick and the staff were lovely - I was informed that they had cleaned the plate they cook the crepes on but that they couldn’t guarantee it was safe - which was nice to see they understand the severity of coeliac and still try to accomodate! Safe to say it was well worth the slight risk

I discovered this baked confectionery shop while strolling through the back alleys of Roppongi. There are many sweets that are gluten-free and made with rice flour. Today I had a berry pound cake. The taste was very good. The price is a little high, 600-700 yen per packaged piece, and the pound cake has no additives, so it has a best-before date of 1-2 days.

Located in a quiet residential area near Daikanyama, "Yama no Hitsuji" is a gluten-free & medicinal food cafe run by a medicinal food chef. It's a short walk from both Daikanyama and Ebisu stations, and is a hidden gem that suddenly appears in a residential area. There's a sign outside, so don't miss it; just walk in and you'll find the shop in a house one block away. The side dish plate (1,500 yen including tax, changes weekly) uses plenty of seasonal vegetables, and all of them are healthy and delicious. The attention to detail, such as black rice and gluten-free soy sauce, is outstanding. The food is served a little slowly, so it's best to go with plenty of time. The portions of the main meat dish are large, and even men will be full. The interior of the store is dotted with sheep motifs, and the mascot dog "Komugi" will greet you. He barks a lot (lol). You can also bring your pet. There are counter seats equipped with power outlets, and it is a relaxing space where time flows at a leisurely pace. This is a place that is recommended not only for health-conscious people, but also for those who want to restore their mind and body. Only cash is accepted, and electronic payments and cards are not accepted.

This gluten-free waffle shop uses buckwheat and rice flour grown on their own farm in Shinanomachi, and the fruit seems to be delivered directly from the farmers. On this day, my eldest son and his wife invited me to go for a stroll around Yanaka Ginza, and my wife loves soba noodles, so my eldest son bought me some soba soft cream. The inside of the store is very spacious and new. It's a takeout specialty store, but there are chairs for resting inside.

The gluten-free tacos here were insanely good, I had 8 of them and honestly could’ve kept going! The staff were super helpful and knew exactly what was gluten-free, which made me feel safe and taken care of. The atmosphere was spot-on with a great Mexican vibe, and the music? Absolute fire 🔥 Highly recommend this place, especially if you're gluten-free and love tacos! 🌮 🤤🤤🤤

I am celiac so I was very grateful to find this place by chance. Usually I do not want to make loved ones “suffer” through gluten free food but the sandwiches looked and then tasted great, the non-celiacs thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you

AYU TRIP

This is my second visit. I tried two types of newly introduced gluten-free pancakes. This time I ordered ・Gluten-free pancakes with whipped butter (1,600 yen) ・Gluten-free pancakes with bacon and egg (1,800 yen) The sweet dough made with rice flour goes well with the salty bacon and whipped butter♡ They are small in size so you can finish them in no time. Personally, I recommend the bacon and egg because it is more filling! This set is available until 11:00. You can eat pancakes after breakfast is over, but the set is a better deal because it comes with a drink♩ ** ┈┈┈┈┈┈** ⸜⸜ Follow me ⸝⸝ Instagram→ayumax666 TikTok→ayumax666 YouTube→AYUTRIP ** ┈┈┈┈┈┈**

My girlfriend has recently started eating gluten-free, so I was curious and went there for lunch. The atmosphere of the restaurant was good overall, and the staff were very friendly. There are many attractive menu items, and I ordered the taco lunch this time. The hot meat sauce was very delicious. I would definitely like to come here again! ☺️

Carlotta Garbellini

I have coeliac disease and I had the opportunity to have a personal menu, one of my friend is vegetarian and was able to have a personal menu too. Amazing experience, thank you.

Very good Hot Pot in All you can eat formula. You can choose whether to eat beef, pork or both, the price changes slightly. The waiters speak English and are very helpful towards customers. We were served by Sota and Masaya who were very professional! Suitable for celiacs, they are very careful about contamination, a great place!
