It's a restaurant that specializes in vegan and gluten-free food, and it doesn't use rice flour, so it was very helpful. The stylish atmosphere was also nice. The food was very delicious and reasonably priced, so it was a good experience.

I went to "Gluten-Free Rice Field Bakery Komekama" in Shinagawa for the first time. I was interested in the gluten-free rice flour bread specialty store, so I bought a cream cheese cake bread. The chewy texture unique to rice flour is irresistible, and the moist and rich cream cheese is matched exquisitely with the slightly sweet raisins, making it a luxurious taste like a dessert. It's so delicious that you wouldn't believe it's wheat-free, and it's healthy but also very satisfying. There are many other types, so next time I'd like to try other breads such as curry bread. This time I only bought one, so I'd like to try the other ones. The inside of the store was bright and clean, and the staff were polite. I would definitely recommend this store to anyone who is interested in gluten-free, as well as bread lovers!

A very delicious vegan cake shop❤️ Located opposite the Shinjuku Gyoen front entrance. Ordered○Banana tart バナナタルト 950 yen (tax included) ●Very smooth and delicious, with a European style cake flavor. Vegan and gluten-free, but still feels super delicious. ●The cream is also very smooth. ♡You can order a whole cake, book 3 days in advance. ■Hope to book a whole cake for myself at one time😆

Really very good pizza: the tomato has an incredible taste! They have gluten free options so a plus

Alex Durso

Love this coffee shop. The Hojicha tea lattes are excellent. They also have a gluten free lemon cake that was perfect and not too sweet.

Bettina CH

Very delicious food. Since the portions were rather small, we ordered again. We thought it was good value for money. Gluten-free dishes were clearly marked on the menu, and there was a large selection, including cakes!

Two years ago in March, I took my daughter, a second-year university student, for a stroll around Shibuya. We stopped in for lunch. ~We live in southern Kanagawa, and my daughter and I have bronchial allergies... We rarely have a chance to visit Shibuya, which is crowded with young people and foreigners... This was my daughter's third time in her life. I'm 60 years old, hmm, how many years has it been since I last visited?! (laughs) That's the Shibuya area. In front of Hachiko, which is in a different location from before. A long line of foreign tourists lined up. Redevelopment has seen new high-rise buildings rise in front of the station. Recalling the Shibuya I used to walk around when I was about the same age as my daughter (40 years ago💦). I tried to find traces of the past, but although the road structure is the same, the shops and buildings have changed a lot (sweat). Amidst all of that, the atmosphere around Spain Hill, where Bio Cafe is located, has not changed. Phew 😀 Parco, which is nearby (where I spent all of my part-time job pay of 10,000 yen that day, a bitter fate 😭), is also in the same place. Now, the rooftop garden is a secret spot for the night view 🥰 Maybe Biidoro, which is next to Bio Cafe, has been there since back then? I feel like I met up with a friend there to discuss a trip to Bali... 🤔 Memories of such distant youth are scattered like a mosaic in the streets of Shibuya. Hoping to reduce my daughter's allergies, I chose this gluten-free restaurant for lunch. Even though it was vegan food, it was well thought out and delicious👍 The lunch course was 1,880 yen, including salad bar and detox water. We ordered brown rice, fried chicken set, and vegan Mont Blanc. The fact that it was vegan didn't bother us at all, it was just a normal, delicious restaurant✌️ The service and the atmosphere were really not bad. I was a little concerned about the hygiene of the salad bar, so I took one star off. Unlike salad bars in regular restaurants or hotels, there were a lot of spilled food scattered around, perhaps because there were a lot of young customers. It was a little less clean? Tongs were shared, and overall, the area around the salad bar felt a bit messy. (Maybe it depends on the day.) Other than that, the food was delicious, and the location was easy to find and convenient. It's a good restaurant that's healthy but filling. Personally, I was happy that it's located on the nostalgic Spain Hill, right next to Parco, as it reminded me of a lot of the past 😘 On the way home, I told my daughter for the first time about my memories of Shibuya from my time as a university student and employee, as we headed from Koen-dori to the station. ~I would recommend this place for a day of strolling around Shibuya, whether it's for parents and children, friends, couples, or colleagues.

Best falafels in town! Also has great gluten free muffins!

Showed coeliac card and was assured it would be fine but later found out they were unable to accomodate due to cross contamination.

India Weaver

If you asked me what my idea of heaven is, it’s this bakery. I cried happy tears when I saw the incredible range of authentic Japanese baked items on offer. 100% gluten free, this is truly a coeliac’s dream. I loved the self serve tray + tongs element of the experience. The fried curry bread is absolutely incredible and I was so excited to try gluten free melonpan!!! If you are gluten free, you absolutely MUST add this to your Tokyo itinerary! I’ll be thinking of this bakery for a very long time ❤️

They don’t have gluten free at this location

All of the carefully prepared dishes were delicious! The gluten-free pasta was well-flavored, the dashi soy sauce had a mild taste, and the salmon pasta had a nice yuzu flavor. The soy milk amazake soft serve ice cream was mellow and not at all heavy, and went really well with the strong espresso.

Jørgen Sandhaug

Absolutely delicious chicken tikka masala. Cozy place and very friendly staff. The owner is very knowledgeable about gluten, and all the curries were gluten free.

Cassandra D

A very reputable ramen restaurant in Sapporo committed to serving halal, vegan and gluten free options. All servings were large, filling, and very affordable. We recommend the tomato broth ramen with minced chicken. We are so grateful to the owner for being so kind and attentive to our needs, especially providing the English menu.

Zach Dorsett

Great tacos, with plenty of gluten free options. Just avoid the fried options if you have concerns with cross-contamination. Carne asada was especially good.

Luzie Schrauf

Very tasty, nice location, gluten-free and vegetarian options

Peter M.

I love that they had vegan cake and vegan cookies and even more that it is also gluten free. But the cake was just quite tasteless.

Sára Hájková

The best sushi in Arashiyama, they also have gluten-free soy sauce. The staff was very helpful❤️🥰

Nicola Perry

Awesome experience, the owner was so lovely and amazing food. Really knowledgable about how to make it gluten free as well, i will come back when im next in Japan

Ilene Tucker

Great little tempura bar. We went all in with no regrets. Small salad to start, cucumber salad next (delicious sesame oil and sesame seeds), multiple types of seafood and vegetable tempura, cold noodles, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream with honey. The experience was great. Sitting at the bar, the owner/chef cooked a few pieces of tempura at a time so each piece was fresh and delicious, versus a whole plate that sits and get soggy (a typical tempura meal). The tempura was light and flakey, the vegetables fresh and the seafood just melted in your mouth (shrimp, squid, whitefish, scallop!, conger eel). Best part… all gluten free with much care for my dietary needs, but you’d have never known this was gluten free, it was that good (says the hubby who can eat gluten!)

Avery Armstrong

If celiac, a delicious treat after visiting Himeji, just a short walk from the castle

Filippo Montalti

Excellent burgers and very interesting desserts, they also have gluten-free sandwiches so they can satisfy even those who need gluten-free. Service as always friendly, water included, prices slightly higher than average but worth it.

A restaurant where you can eat delicious vegan food. I came here with my child who doesn't like meat. I ordered a lunch course, but the number of appetizers was Children can taste many different kinds. I was very happy! It’s hard to believe that the pasta noodles are gluten-free. It was delicious, so I visited the manufacturer and was shown the product, and it turned out to be organic gluten-free pasta. I don't think it was written as organic on the menu, so it may change again, but I felt that they were particular about it, even though it was probably quite expensive compared to similar products. It's vegan, gluten-free, healthy, and reasonably priced, so it's become my favorite restaurant. The staff at the hall were very attentive. This is a recommended point! I will visit you again, thank you very much.

I was recommended to go here but was underwhelmed. I arrived at 9pm after a walking tour and was hurried even though I’m only one person so would eat quickly anyway and the hours showed it was open till 10. It’s just a basic cafe so not that relaxing or inviting. I had the cheese curry as not a lot was actually showing as gf on the menu. It was tasty but it was just curry sauce and rice. Rice is something we have to have when there’s nothing else in Asia so would have ideally avoided a rice dish. Wouldn’t really recommend unless you’re desperate. Seems like there are plenty better places

I visited Pancakes & Books Bibliotheque in Namba Parks. There are many stylish pancakes, all of which can be made gluten-free (¥500). The pancakes are delicious even when gluten-free, so I recommend them to those who are concerned about gluten. The prices seem a little higher than the average, but I guess that's understandable. If you order a drink separately, you can drink as much as you want for 90 minutes. Next time I'd like to come and read a book.

近藤良夫

It was delicious. The gluten-free set meal was a fairly luxurious one at a flat rate of ¥2,970 (tax included). We stayed there for exactly two hours, but the staff all gathered around each other and looked at us as if they wanted us to leave quickly.

Emily Dellios

We absolutely loved it here! I am coeliac and my husband is vegetarian. Our waitress, Thaw, was delightful and helped us understand exactly what I could and couldn’t eat. Delicious, really reasonably priced, and lots of fun!

Tina Chu

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.

Mark Walker

Great tacos. Really good value and very fast. Many options are gluten free which is why I tried this place. Staff speak English. This place has a bar with 4-5 stools inside for dining in, and another two tables outside. They have a bigger restaurant about 5 minutes walk away with a bigger indoor dining area.

I always come here when I come to Osaka. I don't know how many times I've been there. It's easy for even an old man to enter by himself. The atmosphere is calm and comfortable. The location is in the middle of nowhere, but it's worth coming just for this shop. I tried almost everything on the menu, but on this day I ordered the power bowl and soup set for 1,580 yen. It's a little pricey, but it really fills you up. It's loaded with vegetables and almost gluten-free. After eating, I noticed the seasonal menu posted on the wall. Brown rice risotto set! I should have done this! ! I will go again.

Michael Cassimaty

Intimate dining with delicious food! The Green Curry and french fries went together great. Recommend it as a coeliac!

Haru (haruchaaan.t)

I always use this cafe for work! There is Wi-Fi and power outlets inside the store! Above all, it is a calm space, and I feel like I can get a lot of work done at the counter seats with a good view (∩˃o˂∩)♡ However, since the food is gluten-free and other food-related, and a full cafe latte costs about 800 yen, it is more of a cafe that I would like to use when I want to boost my self-esteem a little, like Starbucks! I often buy baked goods to take home as souvenirs for business partners, but there is also a general store, so it is a cafe that is highly recommended for women!

H M

It's not particularly delicious, but it's gluten-free and contains no refined sugar, so you can eat it without feeling guilty. It's also suitable as a gift for health-conscious people. The inside of the shop is small, so you can't relax.

Swati

I ordered a vegetable biryani and a burhani raita. It was delicious and the portion was just enough for one person. The owner and Staff were welcoming and helpful. The restaurant even agreed to serve me the vegetarian set dinner thali with changes to make it gluten free. Would definitely visit again to try the thali.

Marvin da Costa

Realy good restaurant. Food was delicious and realy nice server. Especially the gluten free option was nice.

Sona Durairaj

I enjoyed a delicious bowl of gluten free ramen, the service was great and my food came out quickly!

Liron44

The food was amazing, they offer gluten free menu and hiroshi was so helpful and kind. Highly recommended

You should definitely try the cream puffs at this shop! They are superb. The dough is gluten-free and moist, the cream has a rich milk flavor, and the chocolate is not too sweet with a strong cocoa flavor. The custard cream is also delicious. The angel shrimp burger had a soft bun and was very delicious. The exquisite royal milk tea had a sweet cream on top that matched well with the strong black tea. The tea leaves have the distinctive scent of Earl Grey. The rich milk tea was delicious. I heard from people around me that the pancakes, Monti Cristo, and parfaits were also delicious! It's a very charming shop.

川本E

Lots of vegetables! A vegetable cafe that does not use eggs, milk, or flour✨ You can also enjoy the ``Salad Bowl,'' which consists of vegetables, nuts, rice, and other grains arranged together in a large bowl, or the ``Buddha Bowl,'' which originated on the West Coast of the United States and is a one-plate dish. When I received it, it was red rice, quinoa, carrots, avocado, tomatoes, nuts, lettuce, etc.😃 In addition to the Buddha Bowl, we also have vegetarian curry, vegan sandwiches, gluten-free pasta and sweets, and we also have children's sets ❤️

Please be aware. There’s a barley inside the rice. don't go there if you’re a celiac unless you want to eat only the curry without rice. We went there because it’s a gluten free curry. A staff said that you can eat only the curry without the rice. Because there’s barley inside their rice. So It’s not a gluten-free friendly restaurant 😅 I don’t understand why a. they advertise as a gluten-free curry restaurant if they cook rice with barley. This tells that they don’t know about a celiac disease. b. they can offer a plain white rice

Anna Balagtas

They had great crepes! They were gluten free which was an added bonus. We had the strawberry nutella crepe and the red bean, cream, and mochi crepe with two iced matcha lattes. We loved their matcha - it was perfectly sweet and refreshing. Our total was 3400 yen which I thought was a pretty fair price. The seating area is quite limited so make sure to plan accordingly if coming with a big group!

Come here! Second year in a row we come to this ramen place, and we love it! Great gluten-free ramen and the man running the shop is an amazing guy❤️ we are definitely coming again next time we are in Kyoto or even Osaka😊 Thank you

Emily Ko

So impressed with this one person show, I am gluten free and dietary restrictions were clearly labeled on the menu. Recommend telling the waiter ‘I have a wheat allergy’ (komugi arerugi ga aru) to inform them of your wheat allergy and asking ‘Does it contain wheat?’ (komugi o haiiteiruno) to ask if something has wheat. Even gave wheat free soy sauce! Wow!

Many gluten free options for lunch and different gluten free cakes. The staff were attentive and took my coeliac condition seriously, answering all my questions with care and to the best of their knowledge. It was reassuring to see them checking all the dishes on the menu that they could safely offer me. Most importantly, the cakes were delicious.

Benjamin Cawdery

A great place for gluten free crepes. Incredibly tasty food, with great presentation. The staff are so friendly! It’s a very small and cozy place. It’s cash only so bring cash!

Freya

LOVED being able to enjoy some GLUTEN FREE crepes in Japan. Gluten free options are definitely few and far between in Japan and these were DELICIOUS!
