The whole place is gluten free. Between 3 and 5 pm they only serve dessert and drinks. The parfait is phenomenal.

this was one of my favorite places to eat while in japan. a quiet bar/restaurant in kyoto that has gluten free and vegetarian friendly options. the rice bread was incredible. the veggie curry and white miso strew was so delicious i still think about it to this day. wish i had spent more time in kyoto so i could have eaten here a second time.

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!

I’m celiac and I came with my husband and he’s not gluten free but we both thoroughly enjoyed the food. 10/10 would recommend, kitchen is 100% gluten free as is the entire menu - tastier than some UK Italians we have had. Chef was friendly and able to speak and confirm all is GF through translate

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.

This was my FAVORITE meal in Kyoto and is the best place for someone who is gluten free and vegan (the omnivores in my group loved it too). It was such a beautiful spot and had an upscale and traditional feel. We started off with the tofu, which you make AT the table; it was incredible and a very unique experience. The tofu was supple and absolutely delicious with some salt. We got several sushi rolls, my favorite being the grilled yuba. I think of this meal often and wish I could have it again!

sad( ; ; ). The sponge is like hard rubber and is dry and hard to chew. Fresh cream makes me feel sick after I put it in my stomach. It's gluten free, isn't it? One cake cost nearly 1000 yen. We sell frozen cakes. The family only ate one bite. The staff worked hard. This is an oversight on the part of the owner. Aren't you ashamed of selling something like this? Do you think these are delicious to eat? The good thing is that the staff was polite and pleasant. Ingredients were also clearly labeled. Never Again
