Top 34 Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Havens Across Japan

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.

Fun little vegan and gluten-free cafe. The staff working were friendly and kind. It is a small place and the serves are to the smaller side, too. Maybe more of a snack and treat spot I’d say. We came for lunch and had a pizza and burger plus cake and smoothies and drinks and weren’t full after. The rainbow cake looks beautiful, but wasn’t too flavorful. Tiramisu was more enjoyable. Great alternative cafe if on the search for gluten-free and vegan or dairyfree sweat and savory treats!

Amazing. We ordered two savory and two sweet crepes and their matcha lattes. Everything was delicious and the staff is so friendly. The place is small so go early for seats.

Anne Namuth

The whole place is gluten free. Between 3 and 5 pm they only serve dessert and drinks. The parfait is phenomenal.

Super nice place, run by a couple who couldn't be more charming! Super attentive. Suitable for celiacs and vegans. My daughter is celiac, and when we told them, they explained that they were extremely careful with cross-contamination, which was very appreciated. You pay 4,000 yen per person, but they give you four starters to try, five gyozas, a main course, a drink, and dessert. Everything was delicious. We couldn't finish everything, so we were able to take it home. If I go back to Takayama, I'll definitely be back. I can't fault it at all. (The dish in the photo is from the vegan menu.)

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

loved the gluten free bread and hot choclate

Camilla Ragazzi

It is definitely not street food and the prices may be slightly higher than average. However, everything was delicious, the portions were just right in quantity according to Japanese standards and above all everything was vegan and gluten-free. I would definitely go back

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!

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!

Courtney Radmall

100% gluten free and vegan donut shop. Everything was so delicious. They also sell gluten free ramen packs that are nice to have on the go just in case.

The açaí bowl was very good; however, we found the service disinterested and the atmosphere lacking. If you’re in the area and need a gluten-free bite, it’s worth a stop, but I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way to visit this location.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Blake Hedrick

All gluten free! Very good.

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.

Michael Cassimaty

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

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

We had an excellent time at niceness and I can best describe the experience as peaceful. The food is all organic, gluten-free and vegan and all grown on their family farm. The transfer of the ingredients from the earth to the plate is both meticulous and seamless and you can even watch the magic happen while you wait. The tea we had was perhaps the best tea we’ve ever had and the local honey used to sweeten it was good enough to buy from their small gift shop. A bonus was that a part of the proceeds go to increasing nectar plants on the island. Perhaps the highlight was the incorporation of nature into the restaurant and outdoor seating area which made for a wonderful ambiance that would alone be worth returning for. We loved the food, the service and the atmosphere and will definitely be back.

This place is great! Gluten free is actually gluten free they take lots of care.

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.

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.

Lauren Ramsey

Such cool & unique flavors! Organic and high-quality ingredients used. Gluten-free and vegan options. I've been looking for something like this in Tokyo. Love love love

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. ( ´ ▽ ` )

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.

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.

Carly Brender

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

Jørgen Sandhaug

Amazing gluten free pistacchio cake and cheesecake. Fresh juice, not too sweet. Quiet and comfortable. Will definitely come back! Edit: Have been here three times now, would 100% recommend this place!

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.
