Wow wow wow. Amazing. A must visit. Came with our friends who are non GF and they loved the normal offering. The GF option of rice noodles was so delicious. Very attentive service. Thank you.

Amazing. We ordered two savory and two sweet crepes and their matcha lattes. Everything was delicious and the staff is so friendly. The place is small so go early for seats.

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 😊

We chose this bar because we were visiting the temple area in Kyoto, and we were looking for a gluten-free place, and we had a great time, the choice on the menu is very limited, two sandwiches (with very good bread) and 4-5 desserts, then they only have coffee to drink or a few other things (no soft drinks). It is a very elegant place, you can see the artistic imprint of the owner. The staff is very kind and also spoke very good English. Prices a little high but everything is quality and a zen environment. Ah from the back you can see the pagoda directly!

The açaí bowl was very good; however, we found the service disinterested and the atmosphere lacking. If you’re in the area and need a gluten-free bite, it’s worth a stop, but I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way to visit this location.

The best vegan and gluten free desserts I’ve ever tried (and I’m from LA where we’re spoiled with allergen friendly options)! The hojicha cake was my favorite; the matcha cake and ice cream sandwich were fantastic as well. The soy milk tea lattes were a delightful pairing.

Soba (soba) & udon (udon) shop information Juwari Soba Specialty Store 10 Soba Kyoto Miyukicho Branch (341-7 Daimonji-cho, Miyukicho-dori Oikeshita-ru, Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto City) I visited with my wife for lunch on Wednesday, April 30, 2025🥢 This is a soba restaurant based on the concept of 100% soba noodles that can be eaten for just one coin.We want you to enjoy delicious 100% soba noodles made with domestic buckwheat flour.The tempura is also made with gluten-free buckwheat flour instead of wheat flour. Today I ordered the new style cold mixed soba Genovese (990 yen), maitake tempura, and red ginger onion kakiage 😀 My wife ordered zaru soba (500 yen), maitake mushroom tempura, and chikuwa tempura 😉 However, we like 100% soba and have eaten 100% soba from various places, but the flavor and texture of 100% soba did not feel like 100% soba. Also, the tempura and kakiage were not good enough🥴 The new style cold mixed soba Genovese was delicious, but that's about it😡 There was sobayu too••••••••••••••🤤 But at this price, it can't be helped. Thank you for the meal🙏

Small place very close to Kinkaku-ji, very kind and smiling! Excellent okonomiyaki and Japanese curry, both available in gluten free version (not guaranteed non-contamination like in many places). My non-celiac husband really appreciated the fried noodles. Good quality/price ratio. Recommended!!!

Very authentic experience. Only one man running the whole restaurant, from catching the fish in the fish tank to cleaning tables, taking orders/payments and cooking. He used a translator device with every customer to explain how to eat the noodles. The soba noodles were 100% buckwheat, so gluten-free, as was the broth. He had an excellent understanding of gluten-free. The food was exceptional would recommend making a reservation, lots of people were turned away as it was full. Only 4 tables thar seat 2 people in the small restaurant.

Excellent price-quality ratio. Nice choice of gluten-free and vegetarian dishes. Ultimately opted for a curry. Very thoughtfully, a large paper bib was ready. There were 6 jars of spices on the table that could give the dish extra flavor. Enjoyed lunch here.

As a gluten free diner I have been craving simple eggs on toast, and this place offered gluten free avocado on toast with poached eggs, so I ordered some and an orange juice. It’s was super basic and small. There was no seasoning or special flavours to the avocado, which for the $40 AUD I paid (shocking I know but I was craving badly) It was neatly presented, but would have expected some kind of elevated dish. I had to salt and pepper it myself just to get some flavour. The bread a quarter of the size of regular bread. The service was lovely.

Nikenchaya has been here at the side entrance to Yasaka Shrine for almost 500 years. Today the storehouse is a beautifully lit cafe. I had the Oshiruko, a red bean soup with fresh Kyoto gluten and mochi balls, but what’s famous here is the Dengaku Tofu, tofu covered in their special peppery sauce.
