About a year ago, I started to get stomach problems when I eat wheat. So I went looking for gluten-free restaurants, but many of them were gluten-free and also vegan, but I wanted to eat meat... I found a restaurant in Nara that could fulfill my wish! Of course, they also had gluten-free and vegan options. I had a hamburger on rice flour bread, and it was so nice and satisfying! (It was hard to eat, but that's probably how it is.) The price was quite high compared to regular cafes, but they seem to use carefully selected ingredients, and it's priceless to be able to eat a hamburger like this without getting an upset stomach! There was also a parking lot next to the restaurant. The rice flour scones I bought as a souvenir were also delicious. I'd like to go there if it was in my neighborhood. I'd like to eat there again if I go to Nara.

I wish to give gluten free places a high rating, and I would give a 3.5 if such a rating was possible, but unfortunately I don't think that my experience was worth 4 stars. 1. The food was pretty good. I got a bacon and cheese burger and it came with fries. Pretty decent, not the best I've had. Frozen fries (nothing bad, just not special) that could've used more salt (no salt shaker on the table), burger that was juicy (a plus) but well done (disappointing but maybe that's how the Japanese like it?), barely any ketchup to dip and no sauce in the other container. The bun was very good, the highlight of the burger. 2. If you don't get a drink you must add 400 yen, which drives the cost even higher. 3. The location is not bad, but still 10+ minutes from the train station, so plan to arrive before leaving Nara (do keep in mind that they close at 5). 4. I just am disappointed with the quantity based on the price - I understand gluten free food and western food cost more but if I'm paying a higher price tag I would've appreciated a more generous serving of fries and sauces. I wasn't even offered a napkin.... (EDIT: I did see they provide more salt and sauces next to the bathroom, it was hidden, not advertised or given by default like many restaurants).
