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 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.

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.

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!

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 🙌🏽.

One of the most amazing experiences in Kyoto, it was fun but not demanding and the food was delicious. The staff were amazing and accommodating, I would highly reccomend. Me being Gluten Free I would reccomend, I'm not coeliac, but we did notice everything was cooked separately and they made a big effort to make sure I wouldn't get the wrong order. 10/10 No Ramen, No Life
