Adriana Smit

Very good gluten free soba and tempura!!

Lydia C.

Amazing spot for dietaries. They have 2 vegan Ramen and offer gluten-free noodles and dishes. The vegan gluten-free dumplings we tried were delicious and their signature Ramen, too. They also serve gluten-free beer. Totally recommended, we will be back.

Super authentic soba noodle experience. The noodles are all buckwheat only. Offers a GF dipping sauce on request

Marcus S

Amazing! Amazing! Lovely staff and a cosy little cafe. We arrived late in the day, 5.30 (close at 6pm) and they accommodated us for a quick dessert. They had sold out of their rice flour bread so couldn’t get the sandwiches. Highly recommend.

María Larrad

Beautiful restaurant run by an adorable couple. Attention celiacs: they have an incredible 100% gluten-free menu adaptation. To choose sake, they did a small tasting of 4 for me. All the food was delicious, they cook in front of you. Reservation required, but very easy to manage by email.

Viola Middleton

Yummy! And great for gluten free :))) thank you!

N C

Tastes incredible and has gf options

Mel Griffin

Really delicious ramen! And there’s a vending machine out front for gf vegan desserts!

Jessica Lebovits, RD, CDN

My favorite restaurant my whole trip to Japan. So accommodating. The freshest sushi. Family owned restaurant

Emma Lamomd

Loved this place!! Everything is gluten free (even the macaroni) however the okonomiyaki was certainly the highlight. It was great to not have to worry about cross contamination - cannot recommend it enough

Freddy Acevedo

Excellent restaurant with many vegan and gluten-free options. Specialty in Kyoto style Ramen. Excellent and highly recommended.

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!

Jonsens Wibowo

Run into Fukunoki because strolling Sapporo with my Moslem colleague. Fukunoki use that all ingredients are halal certified, and also have options for vegan and gluten-free noodles. The owner is friendly. First I ordered the most popular Ebi noodle and yeah it’s so good 😍🤤. The sweetness from the shrimp and also the rich shrimp soup. And the next day I come back again and order the Ebi Curry noodle. The taste of this type is more savoury than the ebi noodle, but I like ebi noodle the most than the curry one. I also ordered the gluten free chocolate cake.

Melissa

vegan and gluten-free ramen really delicious, especially the one with soy milk. I've been back three times already!

Sasha Simms-Rowan

Excellent gluten free vegan curry (I was too busy enjoying it to take photos) and drink! I got the takeaway curry in a cup - It was perfect! All gluten free, well labeled menu with pictures and friendly service. Definitely recommend this one 🙂

Corinna Finney

Very tasty food with gluten free options. The service is slower than the typical ramen-style restaurants where they get you in and out quickly but that didn't bother us.

Stella Cook

Encarni Casado

It is the first place where we can eat gluten-free ramen, it has been a great joy since my friend is gluten intolerant. We have enjoyed eating and they are also charming.

Caroline St Ruth

Wonderful place to eat if you are coeliac and therefore eating gluten free. A lot of choice. The waiters are knowledgeable and fun. I was so well looked after. My meal of Butter-yaki was delicious. We added our leftover rice to the soup at the bottom of the dish and shared it.

Yahli mordo

Absolutely amazing people and amazing gluten free food! This place is a heaven to gluten free people!!

Anneloes Van Schuppen

Super delicious vegan and glutenfree typical Japanse food. The owners are very kind and prepare, present and explain the dishes with so much care. I could try things I have never eaten in my life before. They also support places for rescue cats and there are paintings and pictures of cats everywhere<3

Zoe

Loved this place! We opted for the 5pm gluten free dining and myself and my non-gluten free partner found the experience 10/10. They do a 5pm gluten free allergen seating and from 6pm gluten is introduced into the kitchen. They are very aware of other allergens as well. Felt like dining at a friendly Japanese home. Hideki-san & Naoko-san share their culinary skills with us and really really know how to cook, entertain and share their love of food and Kyoto. Bookings are definitely essential. Will visit again when we return to Kyoto one day!

Marvin da Costa

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

A curry shop located a little off Sunshine Street. From the entrance, I go down a flashy, narrow staircase to the basement. The inside of the store has a fun atmosphere with manga on shelves and posters. The chair is made of logs and leather and is very bulky lol The curry seems to be a gluten-free curry, and the roux takes two weeks to complete. Spice curry with vegetables, fruits, and 26 types of Chinese herbal medicine. No white sugar, milk, or trans fat. ◆Mushroom curry (¥1,054) ・Dry (normal curry shop dry) ・Gluten-free glutinous rice The curry roux has the sourness of vegetables, the fruitiness of fruit, and the punch of spice. It has a particularly strong sour taste. After eating it, the spices left a feeling of heat in my stomach, making it perfect for the cold winter. The mushrooms were plentiful and delicious. I think when I ordered curry, I was given one potato for free. It's been a while since I've been there, but I thought it had evolved into a buffet style, bar-like snack menu, cocktails, and more. What is Mouyan Curry (quoted from Instagram) When founder Chitaro Tsuji was a sports trainer, he wondered what foods were good for the body. As a result of repeated research and human experiments, we arrived at a ``spice-flavored simmered mixture of large amounts of various vegetables and fruits.'' I was in great shape, so I continued to eat it every day for a year and made improvements, and by chance I ended up with a curry-like food. We have continued to make further improvements to what we have today. It's the curry of the soul

Mette S Bertelsen

So good Ramen - Gluten-free option and tofu noddles 😋😋 a hit and would love to come back again

pietro zani

place with gluten free option including the little white fish that are very traditional of Kamakura. they also have gluten free soy sauce. thank you!

Sara

The food is good, but there's a cover charge per person that isn't advertised until you get the bill. There's confusion communicating dietary restrictions even though they offer gluten free soba and some other items. Only one person is well informed on the allergens, and on a second visit she wasn't there so it was difficult and I was less confident. They also won't split bills.

Clémence Droit

Great sushi selection and creme brûlée! Including for me as a coeliac, they made the whole sushi platter gluten free and gave me gf soy sauce.

Arnau Roig

Spectacular Curry place, they only have a gluten-free option that is delicious and the value for money is spectacular, 2 plates of rice with curry and two glasses of Coca-Cola for less than €9

Tully Heinrich

Loveed and really want to go back and try the other ramen! Gluten Free noodles were amazing too really creamy broth and has such a cute traditional vibe with tatami mats and a little path, can feel the passion for healing healthy foods here 💌

Olivia Robért

Idk why it’s michelin guide, it’s pretty straightforward okonomiyaki, the yam one is nice for someone who is gluten free. I wouldn’t wait more than 10 minutes. The service seems like they don’t want to be there. We sat on the second floor, the chefs don’t cook in front of you like on the first floor, someone brings it to your table and cooks it for you unenthusiastically. The room is bare, nothing on the tables, you have to order everything in line and can’t add more once sitting down. I don’t recommend it, Chibo Okonomiyaki is much better and you have more selection of drinks, and the condiments are on your table. For example I like adding more bonito flakes but there was no option here.

Daniel Ohayon

I couldn’t quite believe it was gluten free! Both the noodles and the dumplings were really good. I got the soy vegan ramen (1,800) and the dumplings were 600. Order through a screen. Quick and good service!

A very popular shop with long lines for its top quality sweets and soup curry. A soup curry restaurant in Shimokitazawa that has long lines even on weekdays. The sweets here are also exquisite, so we also recommend using the cafe. I went with 2 people. Saturday, December 21, 2024 15:40 *Tandoori chicken and charred cabbage cheese curry Kokumaro coconut soup Spiciness 30 (extremely spicy) Topping Natto *Pistachio pudding *Bone-in chicken and 7 types of vegetable curry crispy chicken rich tomato soup Spicy level 6 (very spicy) Topping: burnt cheese *Rich terrine matcha Tandoori chicken and charred cabbage cheese curry Topped with natto and ordered for maximum spiciness. The viscosity of Kokamaro coconut soup is quite high. Is it because of the 30 spiciness? When ordering, the girl at the store said, ``Sa, sa, 30 spicy? ? ” and a manga-like reaction lol The charred cabbage roasted using a burner has an even sweeter flavor. The tandoori chicken is an authentic dish that has been marinated well and has a lot of flavor. Despite the spiciness that dominates everything, the cooking method and basic cooking are exquisite, and each and every ingredient is extremely delicious. I don't know if there is a tandoori oven, but this tandoori chicken has an outstanding taste. The coconut soup and tandoori chicken go well together. It's delicious even though it's so spicy that it melts your brain. Bone-in chicken and 7 types of vegetable curry Your companion orders it. In addition to crispy bone-in chicken, there are lotus roots, pumpkin, carrots, green peppers, broccoli, and potatoes. The soup is a rich tomato soup with a spiciness level of 6. Topped with charred cheese, the fruity sourness of the tomatoes and the deep sweetness of the onions really bring out the sweetness of the other vegetables. The complex spices such as cumin and cinnamon are added, and the secret ingredient, mango chutney, creates a roundness. Deliciousness with concentrated flavor and richness. The chicken is fragrant and has a crispy texture. The meat is perfectly tender and is a very elaborate dish. The large vegetables are cooked to just the right amount of heat and retain their freshness. A dish that shows the high level of cooking technique. pistachio pudding There are various sweets using pistachios, but pudding is quite rare. A pudding with an extremely rich flavor and smooth texture, made with generous amounts of carefully selected Italian pistachio beans. The sourness of the berries accentuates the flavor, and you can eat it in no time. A must-try for pudding lovers. Rich terrine matcha A super popular sweet that can be said to be the store's signature menu. A luxurious terrine made with matcha from Shimokita Tea Garden Daisen, run by the owner who holds the highest tea master qualification in Japan. The contrast between the milkiness of the white chocolate and the bittersweet matcha is wonderful. Add the homemade matcha salt that comes with it for a more mature taste. This is an artistic sweet. It was delicious and I finished it. “202 Curry-do” is a soup curry and sweets shop that will open in December 2021. The owner of the shop, which quickly became popular, is Mr. Hori, who is from Hokkaido. A talented person who trained at a soup curry restaurant for 13 years. The location is on the 2nd floor of Seijo Ishii near the Shimokitazawa West Exit of the Inokashira Line. The interior of the store is decorated with houseplants and dried flowers, creating a modern and calm atmosphere. There are three types of self-serve water: pink mixed berry water, pale yellow lemon water, and regular water. There are two types of curry soups to choose from: rich tomato and dark coconut, and the spiciness ranges from 0 to 30. Rice is usually large, small, or absent. There is also a curry called ``combination curry'' where you can choose your own original toppings, with a rough calculation of more than 1,200 combinations. The curry seemed to have an average level of spice. The best balance of harmony with the flavor of the handmade ingredients. You can also adjust the spiciness quite finely. And the sweets are also top notch. Our homemade soup curry is carefully prepared and pasteurized for each order. Original gluten-free sweets made with artistic and carefully selected ingredients. I am satisfied that LGBTQ people of all ages are supported. Not only for soup curry, but also as a cafe, it's very attractive and you'll want to come back again and again. A restaurant that is totally wonderful in terms of taste, atmosphere, service, attention to detail, facilities, etc. Highly recommended. #Sweets girls #Stylish sweets #Focusing on materials #Women's joy level is high #glutenfree #You can take out #The queue is endless #Relax in a calm atmosphere #Retty popular store #Shimokitazawa

The pork literally melted in my mouth. Actually first time when the broth didn't make my stomach heavy for being too greasy. I'm curious about what goes in the soup stock and cooking methods here. The seasoning was perfect and the soup makes one crave something even more. The amount of green onion was perfect and goes so well with the ramen. Just delicious. Heck who cares about customer service when the food is good and affordable. Great for quick bite to eat in cold weather. They have gluten free noodle, but sadly maybe the broth isn't gluten free because I still got reaction. Or maybe it's not lactose free, but is it normal to add milk in the soup stock? Maybe the stock is gluten free and I got delayed reaction from somewhere. I'm not too sure...maybe I wouldn't recommend this place for wheat allergist or sensitive celiac. But, it was delicious.

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.

One of the best experiences I've had ever having a meal across the world! Tucked away in a little alley in Kyoto I was reading on google this place had some amazing Udon along with amazing surface which did not disappoint! It may look closed because its tucked away but it is not don't worry! We got the venison soba which Is 100% buckwheat and gluten free! The owner explained all of this through one of the best pocket translators I've ever seen! Follow his instructions to eat it in the best way possible so it compliments your palate! After we had the amazing venison Soba he told us to leave some broth, so he could make a porridge which was even better! The whole meal was DELICIOUS! It was quiet which added to ambiance and made it a very personal experience. The owner/chef is one of the best, and most memorable people we came across during our 2 week trip in Japan. The fact he takes the time to explain how to eat the amazing dish properly , and puts his love into it makes a huge difference. Such a kind man! I hope to visit this place again when we inevitably visit japan again someday 🙌🏽.

Great place. Healthy delicious onigiri riceballs. Eat in you get a tray with delicious miso soup Friendly, English friendly staff and enthusiastic owner. All fresh made ready packed for taking for a train journey. Gluten free and veggie options.

Lila Brown

I have celiac and went here for lunch yesterday. The food was INCREDIBLE and the atmosphere was so special. It’s a tiny restaurant, maybe 6 seats? And you need to reserve in advance. Each course was delightful and impeccably made, and you get to watch it being prepared right next to your table. I could not recommend this more highly.

Julius op den Brouw

Great food, fun self-cooking experience, very helpful staff, especially our waiter Kazuma Yamaoka. Also very convenient for gluten free diets. Recommend!

Take it easy !

I had sukiyaki for lunch. In addition to the two types of meat, the shoulder loin and lean meat, even the supporting characters, such as the thin and elastic konjac and the chewy and flavorful wheat gluten, were especially delicious. Raw eggs are also delicious! To finish off the meal, we served egg toji which contained finely chopped garland chrysanthemum stems over rice. After passing through the noren curtain, we were guided to our room, and the heartfelt hospitality that made us delicious sukiyaki and served it to us in a timely manner was wonderful! thank you very much. Thank you for the meal.

No vegan menu available as of January 20, 2024. Was disappointed to see it had been removed so putting this here for other fellow vegans/vegetarians to be aware. Gluten free option is still available

Itai Meir Caspit

Gluten free! It was so hard to find gluten free options in the area, but in this restaurant they are fully aware. Both chefs spoke perfect English, and could make most menu items without soy sauce or gluten. They also cleaned the cooking surface before making my food. You can bring your own soy sauce and ask them to use it instead. Additionally, the food is tasting very well, and their cooking is show-like entertaining. I highly recommend sitting on the counter!

Julien Mazenauer

Exceptionnal local, vegetarian (and mostly gluten-free) cuisine with a great set of refined dishes, beautiful setting and cheerful people!

R Sullivan

Very easy to order Gluten Free food (intolerant). We used google translate and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The skewers were great. The cheesy squid wasn’t my cup of tea. The bacon wrapped cherry tomatoes and Camembert were delectable

KEY BOY

It's a buffet-like restaurant where you can add your favorite toppings to the curry, and there are several types of curry, so you can get refills. I've heard that it's spiced and seems to be gluten-free, so I think it's good for those who are health conscious.
