It's been a while since I ate pizza, I can't believe it's gluten free It was delicious!

Atsu Tam

All ramen can be changed to brown rice noodles for 500 yen, so it is recommended for people who have given up on eating ramen at restaurants due to celiac disease or other reasons!

This is heaven for any gluten intolerant. I was amazed by their pancakes and sweet staff. Will book a new trip to Japan just to eat here again❤️

Has a gluten free menu and I enjoyed the prawn tempura

Fresh gluten-free food has never tasted so good! Very clean and good service. The cream pasta was light and good. The waffles were so fluffy that I forgot they were gluten free. Celiac Friendly!

Michael Cupertino

An absolutely amazing experience. The food was delicious and the service was phenomenal. The chef personally tends to your meal and prepares the food in front of you. We felt completely safe eating gluten free here. Our only regret is that we can't eat here more often.

Viola Middleton

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

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 🙂😁

Entirely gluten free bakery. Lots of options but some are very pricey. Quality is very good!

Emily Hunt

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.

Such a lovely Café! We found it without searching. None of us avoids gluten. We had the pistachio cream puff and the cheesecake. Both was excellent. The man working there was super sweet and interested in his guests having a great time. Definitely recommend going there! The portion size was A bit small though but we weren't hungry for a couple of hours after because it was so filling.

As someone with celiac’s, it’s amazing when you can find a place that has such delicious treats that are gluten free! We stopped here after visiting Senso-ji temple. The shop is small and very cute. The staff was super friendly. And the cake was so soft and perfectly subtly sweet. We added the whipped cream which made this a heavenly food experience that I’ll be thinking about for a long time. Thank you!

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!

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.

This place is amazing. A quick walk from Kichijōji station, there's several pleasant spots to tuck in and eat. My wife is celiac and she had a life-restoring Ratatouille moment of eating a cake and creampuff unlike anything she had eaten since she was young in Europe and able to have gluten. Thank you so much for a great treat!

I wanted to buy gluten-free bread, so I went in just after lunch on a weekday. There was a cute, friendly female staff member at the back of the counter preparing the bread? Making the dough? There didn't seem to be any customers at the cafe. It said it was a cafe, so I was worried I'd be able to buy just the bread, but I was able to. The shop is located a little way down the road across from MUJI, across from 246. From Takashimaya, it's just past Tsubame Grill and on the left. From Futako Tamagawa Station, it's about a 5-6 minute walk. I don't know if it's intentional, but the feel of the shop, from the exterior and interior, to the slightly dark atmosphere and concept, is very British (those who have been to England should know...) I didn't call out to the staff, but they stopped what they were doing and came to the register, probably because they saw me pick up a loaf of bread from the display, so I was able to pay smoothly. Rice flour bread is sold in tiny miniature loaves, and the price varies depending on the type, but it's about 400 to 500 yen per loaf. From what I saw, there were four kinds: plain, sweet sake, chocolate, and raisin. In terms of size, one loaf is about the size of a hot dog bun, I think. So, one person can eat a whole loaf in no time. The bread is rice flour bread, and the inside is chewy. The crust is crispy and very delicious. The inside is chewy, but it doesn't have the heavy, dense feeling that rice flour bread often has, and I think it's relatively fluffy for rice flour bread. It was my first time there, but I really liked it. I want to go again. There aren't many bakeries around here that make gluten-free bread, so I hope they keep doing their best.

Almost missed out on these amazing churros. They’re made of rice flour so it’s gluten free. Got the caramel sugar one and it was absolutely delicious. The chef has perfected his recipe so the churros turn out extra crunchy with balanced sweetness. A must try food snack when at Sensoji!

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!

Fernanda Velazquez

Increíbles!!! El sabor es estupendo, muy diferente a todo y no hay contaminación cruzada. Más que recomendable

Melissa L

A lovely selection of gluten free sweets, served by a lovely man. It’s a little tough to find just because there isn’t an obvious store front. You just have to find the right building and buzz up!

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.

Monica M.

Here we ate the best gluten free sushi EVER!!! It is expensive, but really fancy and delicious! Without reservation, we waited no more than 15' our turn, and seated in front of the chef, seeing how the sushi was made !! We got a hot matcha tee at the beginning and a cup of soup at the end enjoyed the sushi! 🍣 The place is very typical, and we felt very nice with the people inside! 💠 Thank you for preparing these goodies for us coeliacs! We are very happy to be able to taste it! 😄

I can't do more than give it a 5 for everything, the chef is super nice and most of the dishes are gluten free. They come marked and everything. An experience in a super special place, in a basement on a secluded street

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.

I discovered this baked confectionery shop while strolling through the back alleys of Roppongi. There are many sweets that are gluten-free and made with rice flour. Today I had a berry pound cake. The taste was very good. The price is a little high, 600-700 yen per packaged piece, and the pound cake has no additives, so it has a best-before date of 1-2 days.

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

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

I stopped by while wandering around Yanaka Ginza! I received a gluten-free waffle 🧇 based on buckwheat flour and rice flour! To the friendly store clerk

I've been looking for a delicious birthday cake that is gluten-free. This cheesecake was mellow and delicious with little cheese flavor. It was also well received by my family. I would like to purchase this cake again in the future as a celebration cake. 【request】 I would be even happier if I could choose a gluten-free birthday plate.

Miranda Rose

Yumm, so good!! Had a gluten free strawberry/cream and a curry egg sandwich! It was delicious!

Alex I

Gluten free pizza amazing!!

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.

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.

Stephanie Grace

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

Mocha Ruru

I was looking for something gluten-free, dairy-free and white sugar-free, so this bakery was the place to go! I got strawberry muffin, orange muffin and chocolate muffin. It was a little too sweet for me but really moist and good👍🏼 I really hope this kind of bakery stays open for a long while for people like me!

Yuli Ong

Incredible desserts! We were blown away by the selection of gluten and dairy free options with common allergens clearly labelled. Everything was so fresh and delicious. We'll be back!

Soizeats

Very good, ordered on Uber and everything was perfect!! Ok for celiacs

I’ve been a devoted fan of Riz Lie Amande’s creations since 2023, when I first came across them in Ningyocho. As the pastry chef and owner, Misa-san’s attention to detail and passion for gluten-free baking truly shine through in every treat. From the éclairs to the Gâteau Fraise and every other delicate dessert, each item has a moist, smooth texture and flavour that simply melts in your mouth. The gluten-free éclairs are so delicious, you’d never guess they’re free from wheat, even when you’re told. The Gâteau Fraise, with its perfect balance of light, fluffy layers and fresh strawberries, is my personal favourite. I couldn’t recommend Misa-san and Riz Lie Amande enough. Their gluten-free creations are nothing short of outstanding!

When I was having lunch at a nearby restaurant called Otamaju, I saw a flyer and found out about it. As it is a gluten-free sweet, Don't worry about that! I asked. These are the most delicious sweets ever. All muffins except those containing chocolate, chiffon cake, and, I bought gateau chocolat, which my 4th grader loves. without feeling guilty, I bought it as a morning gift. I ate one to taste in the car on the way home, and... Really delicious, Texture, exquisite blend, sweetness, Everything is very delicious, I don't snack, I ate it with all my heart's desire. The few remaining muffins, Morning of the next day, I also received it in the morning the next day, No change in taste, I thought it might have helped because it wasn't nearby. If you go nearby, I will also buy everything except chocolate. ( ´ ▽ ` )

My fiance and I came to Tudore Tranquility for a birthday dinner on the final night of vacation and were blown away. The tasting menu - our favorite course included gluten free bread, a mash of peas, edamame and eggplant, and a really tasty cracker! - was exquisitely prepared and plated. Shouts also to our server Cliff, who was attentive and friendly. This was one of the most interesting meals I/we have eaten, and certainly wonderful restaurant for a special occasion. Even if you are not vegan (I am not), you'll enjoy and appreciate the experience.

Great GF options and lovely staff!

Gluten free sandwiches in a very cute cafe in Harajuku! Safe and yummy.

Let them know you're celiac!

Amazing!! The udon is made with brown rice flour. The broth is so hearty and the udon is thick and chewy. The tempura batter is also made with brown rice flour, so crunchy and fresh. I’m coeliac and would highly recommend visiting here as it is 100% gluten free. Prices are amazing as well. I think about this meal 24/7.
