While strolling around Myogadani, I suddenly came across the ``biossa gluten-free bakery specialty store''. Attracted by the word gluten-free, I decided to buy the "salted butter roll" to try it out. When I took a bite, I couldn't help but smile at how delicious it was. The rich flavor of butter and the perfect amount of salt spreads in your mouth, and the chewy texture is irresistible. Butter rolls are delicious enough to eat on their own, but they also go well with a variety of dishes and side dishes. You can imagine what kind of combinations you would enjoy. There are many delicious bakeries in Myogadani, so if the bread at the first shop you stumble across is so delicious, you may be satisfied without trying other bakeries. However, if you definitely add ``Biossa gluten-free bakery specialty store'' to your repertoire, you will be able to live a richer baking life. The bread at this shop is completely gluten-free (rice flour bread). When you think of gluten-free bread, you have the impression that you have to compromise on taste and texture, but this is not the case at all with the salted butter rolls here. In fact, I found it to be so perfectly delicious that I didn't even realize it was gluten-free. When you come to Myogadani, be sure to stop by ``biossa gluten-free bakery specialty store.'' I'm sure you'll be waiting for an encounter with delicious bread that will change your concept of gluten-free.

Had lunch here today, phenomenal curry. Our waitress informed us the cafe is closing for 2 months and will only serve coffee and gluten free cake going forward. No more meals.

I came here for gluten-free bread and baked goods. When I asked the store clerk, They taught me how to bake gluten-free foods. I had the an butter and American and it was delicious. It was right after they opened, so I was able to relax.

They had lot of choices for gluten free vegetarian dishes. Loved the crispy noodles, sesame ramen, strawberry icecream, brownie. Quick service. Space is small but smile and servings are big 🙂😁

I ate here no more than 20 minutes ago and it was wonderful. It’s difficult to find gluten free places in Japan, especially along with being vegan - This restaurant was lovely, the food was great and the staff are so kind, friendly and sweet. We had the lunch plates (where you basically get to try a bit of everything, everywhere should do that am I right?!), donut, chocolate waffle and regular waffle - Everything was so nice, I’m vegetarian and my partner is a meat eater, we loved all of it but had opposite favourites to one another so it’s definitely worth a try! Enjoy everyone!

This place is absolutely perfect in everything. The ambience is super relaxing and the food is super tasty. If you're allergic to gluten and want to relax and eat good food - this is the place. Also, they give you a tarot message with each meal you buy. If you're a fan of tarot or a tarot reader, this is a very nice detail :).

Ambroise Labelle

Very tasty and they were very accomodation and knowledgeable about celiac disease so that I could eat glutenfree without problem. However, it was quite expensive for the size of the meal.

J G

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

A.

Delicious taco bowl, perfectly seasoned and it was gluten free which is hard to find in Japan! There are a few other gluten free items on the menu too :) well worth the visit.

Miles Taylor

Very helpful with gluten free and celiac. Best corn bread I've ever had. They love sheep as well

Emma Lamomd

Really loved this place! I’m a very sensitive coeliac but despite the small risk of cross contamination I was totally fine and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. I even ordered a dessert crepe afterwards seeing as the ice cream was gf too! Service was quick and the staff were lovely - I was informed that they had cleaned the plate they cook the crepes on but that they couldn’t guarantee it was safe - which was nice to see they understand the severity of coeliac and still try to accomodate! Safe to say it was well worth the slight risk

I eat gluten free, and the burger is a 100% beef, so I took the burger with salad and avocado (only after I ordered i notice that they have a gluten free bun) Was ok price, and the service was amazing It's on the second floor

GyungTae KOO

Poor client management and incorrect menu. How come the customer gets blamed for not reporting food allergy when ordered “gluten free” and got non gluten free pasta?

Charli C

Gluten-free muffins and a good matcha. Bit pricey for a muffin though. No gf matcha pancakes on the menu anymore 😭

Carly Brender

Probably one of my fav locations of theirs. Kura sushi chain is great! They have an allergen menu online that you can use to guide you and order directly from the screen. It can be a but difficult to navigate getting a table but its yummy and really affordable. There are also a lot of locations so it became a good backup option to have while travelling.

Diana “Dee” Falvo

Limited options for gluten free but at least marked on the menu. Salad was healthy and tasty.

Marvin da Costa

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

This is a great shop for gluten-free bread. Surprisingly, there aren't any, so I'm glad it's within my range of action. I love using it because it goes well with coffee. .

Anna Mazzi

I had a late brunch here with a friend. I am gluten sensitive, and she is lactose intolerant, so we thought that this place would be perfect for our sweet tooth cravings. Unfortunately, the pancake options are just two, and, if I may say, they are also quite expensive considering the average pancake price in town. That said, I am aware that in this society, finding allergens free food options in restaurants is not only extremely hard but also a quite expensive thing. We were, of course, interested in trying their limited/fall edition 焼き芋 pancake set and, leaving aside the fact that, as always, it looked really pretty but mostly tasted like sugar, the worst thing was actually the waiter's behaviour which was kinda rude and looked bored and annoyed most of the time. Considering the food price, he could've at least pretended to smile a little bit, right? Don't know if we want to come back again.

Lynn Sweet

It's a dedicated GF place, but there are lots of GF options.

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

I would absolutely recommend this to other people who are gluten free / celiac. As a celiac I have eaten here twice and they are very helpful when making food that is gluten free. They have an allergy list on their menu which allows you to see all the dishes that are wheat free. Noting they do mention gluten as it is not a formal allergy in Japan. They do offer gluten free bread though! Additionally, they were able to provide meal substitutes - removing a certain sauce - to make it wheat / gluten free. However, do not worry as I have eaten here twice - October 2024 and April 2025 - and as a symptomatic celiac I have had no reaction to it. If you are vegetarian / vegan this may be quite hard to have a full meal here as most dishes involve meat of some sort.

Daniel Allen

Little oasis in the airport with tasty food and friendly and speedy service. As well as vegan, there are gluten free options.

Masako Sch

My favorite coffee shop in Tokyo! Coffee is always very good and all staff are welcoming. The cake was delicious and gluten free! It's so nice to have gluten free options. I go there at least every month and I can try different coffee choices every time. Love this place so much❤️☕

Stephanie Grace

Lovely tea, great gluten free cakes, quaint relaxing atmosphere and attentive service.

Catherine Serpell

Enjoyed a really wonderful first meal in Tokyo here. As a coeliac, I was nervous but the staff were understanding of my dietary requirements and I enjoyed really delicious meat/vegetables/rice. It was a bit pricey but made sense based on the high quality of ingredients. Would highly recommend 😁

めめ

I've been here for lunch several times. I really liked the sea urchin pasta here, which was also made into gluten-free noodles, but to be honest, it was bad this time. There were fewer sea urchins, and I felt that the amount was small. The female staff member also kept asking, "Would you like some water?" and interrupted the conversation. The dishes were cleaned up as soon as I finished eating, and it wasn't busy, so I stayed for about 40 minutes before heading home. Honestly, including the drinks, the lunch costs over 2,000 yen, and it's far from the station, so I don't think I'll go there again.

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.

Monica M.

We wanted to try the mochi(next to this place) and since hungry and found availability we entered and tried their delicious gluten free pancakes with salad & the gluten-free vegan bento, even if we are not vegans 🥴 but I can say it was delicious! A bit expensive but the personnel were nice, good food, cozy place mostly central and especially gluten-free!!! I recommend the bento! Thank you for preparing these goodies for us coeliacs! We are very happy to be able to taste it! 😄

Paloma Olmos Q.

Excellent burger, I was able to order lettuce instead of bread (gluten free) and I was also able to eat the fries without repercussions. One of the best wheat-free burgers in Japan so far!

Alyssa Cameron

DO NOT EAT HERE IF YOU ARE COELIAC!!! I ordered from here the other night (it was actually great food and super well priced) and then went to order again today and reiterated that I’m coeliac and it’s an allergy and the person said that even though it says ‘gluten-free’ it’s ALL IN THE SAME FRYER!!!! I was really disappointed because the person serving me the other night hadn’t told me this and I had a reaction and couldn’t figure out where I’d eaten gluten. Please educate your staff when someone is ordering gluten-free there is a high chance it is an ALLERGY and not by choice.

An organic cafe in Kichijoji. A friend took me to the lunch buffet. I was so satisfied that I ate it twice. The lunch buffet is 1,550 yen from 11:00 to 2:00 p.m. The 10th, 20th and 30th of every month are Gluten Free Days. The store also has miscellaneous goods, ingredients, cakes, etc., so you can enjoy just shopping. There are also take-out lunch boxes available. It gets crowded anyway. When ordering, I was told that the restaurant fills up quickly, so if you have to share a seat, please cooperate. We saw many people coming with their families. Thank you to my friend who introduced me.

Excellent pancakes and especially everything Gluten Free

We had dinner at Seed and loved it! The atmosphere is lovely, the food soooo delicious and healthy. We felt amazing after eating our gluten free dinner, the steak was one of our favourites in Japan. Also the drinks were fantastic (we had Aperol spritz and tried plum wine) and the service was outstanding as everyone is so welcoming and Milano speaks excellent English. Thank you Milano and family. We look forward to returning.

Lori Berenberg

amazing gluten free pancakes and drinks!

Review for こめパンカフェ (Monday & Tuesday) A really good gluten-free cafe serving rice flour baguette sandwiches. My chicken sandwich was delicious, and I really enjoyed the Satsuma potato pottage. The baguette was one of the best gluten-free baguettes I’ve ever had. It was crunchy on the outside, and soft and chewy on the inside. Next time I will try to come earlier in the day so I can buy cinnamon rolls. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. They also understood wheat and gluten sensitivities very well.

Irregular open times. I love GyG. I love the food and the fact that it's gluten-free. But it's like a boyfriend that throws tantrums every now and then and suddenly closes without announcement. What I HATE is the irregular schedule that GyG in Shibuya operates. On google is says closing is 21:30pm. I went there twice at 19:00, only to find out that it's closed and there was a sign at the door thay says "we're open until 20:00, last order is 19:30". I arrived there at 19:15. Already closed. This happened twice already and it's such a hassle travelling all the way to Shibuya only to find out that it's closed and Google says it should close at 21:30. Go to GyG Harajuku. You can be sure they are open on the times they said they would be.

The hamburger steak is too gluteny~

Celiac, celiac, gluten-free It saved me from going hungry one day when another gluten-free restaurant in the area was not yet open for lunch/dinner. It's not a big deal, but they served us great and the hot dog is passable (I recommend at least 2). I tripped on the stairs and dropped a bit of my friend's food (3 fries and his dessert). They prepared more for us at no extra cost, hence the 5 stars. According to my friend, the burger he ordered was very delicious and not expensive at all. Thank you very much for the food!

My son loved the rice buns. Good gluten free alternative

David Muscatello

This was not a Japanese dining experience, but this place is wild. The decor is incredible, creating the most elegant and rich Indian dining atmosphere. Each table has its own unique decorative features. Above all, like most Indian food, most of the menu items were gluten-free (I'm coeliac). The owner, who is also a tea merchant, gave us complimentary tea after the meal, served in an elegant teapot and cups.

Kara Cooper

We went here twice during our stay. Very good food, smoothies, coffee and tea. I love how they serve soup with their main dish. Really great in the morning. Highly recommend. Works for dietary restrictions like gluten, dairy and vegan.

If you can’t eat gluten, Bikkuri Donki can be a lifesaver. It has a milk, egg, and gluten-free hamburg steak set meal. The meal comes with a hamburg steak, rice, and side salad. Milk-, egg-, and gluten-free salad dressing and mayonnaise are provided. The meal comes out marked as allergen-free. It’s one of the better hamburg steaks I’ve had, and the provided dressings are a nice touch. I ordered the small size meal, but you can order a large which comes with more rice. You place your order on a tablet, which can be changed to Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and English. On the tablet there is a QR code which takes you to a nutritional information charter which includes allergen information. When your food is served to you, you are also given a receipt with a QR code on it. When you pay, you go to the front of the store and scan your receipt at a machine. It will handle payment and can also be switched to other languages. Service was very fast. I was seated immediately and my food came out soon after I ordered it.
