The okonomiyaki was very tasty and I found the drink system comfortable and practical. I loved the decoration of the place and the sense of humor that their posters conveyed. As a person with celiac disease I felt super calm and cared for, they even understand about cross contamination! One of the best gastronomic experiences I had in Japan 🧡
A hidden gem away from the bustling Dotonbori, this cozy soba shop offers a tranquil vibe, homemade noodles, and an extensive menu for all dietary preferences.
This spot offers chewy rice flour bread and an ever-changing selection of scones, attracting locals and tourists alike with its inviting vibe.

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.
A cozy izakaya vibe awaits in a hidden spot, offering self-serve drinks and fluffy, satisfying dishes that keep customers coming back!

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.
Discover a unique fusion of flavors in a cozy spot where the owner crafts delightful curries with carefully selected ingredients and friendly vibes.

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 🙂

Amazing! So happy to have a delicious meal that is authentic Japanese curry and gluten free. He offers chicken , beef , vegan and vegetarian options. Small menu about 6 seats the owner was born in this exact building. It’s as authentic as it gets. Worth the trip off the beaten path.
Stylish riverside spot offering phenomenal vegan dishes with great views, making it a popular choice for a unique breakfast experience.

We tried the "Have a Good Day Plate", along with the avocado toast with gluten free bread. French toast, and Petit Gateau, also gluten free and dairy free. The presentation was beautiful, and the flavors were well-balanced. However, the Petit Gateau could have been slightly less baked to achieve that perfect melted chocolate center. Overall, a great spot for a delicious and visually appealing breakfast in Osaka with a lovely view.

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.

Healthy supermarket. You can buy anything with confidence.
Some vegetables are surprisingly cheap.
I also like gluten-free bean noodles.
I bought dashi rolls from the side dish corner and went home.
The dashi rolls were delicious and had no weird ingredients in them.
Experience a unique dining vibe with interactive ordering and cozy curtain-covered seating, perfect for sushi lovers on the go.

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.
Enjoy a casual vibe with unique okonomiyaki options that keep food lovers coming back for more in Osaka.

Good food. They have ONE gluten free option. It's not on the English menu. It's the pork okonomiyaki from the Japanese menu. Not celiac friendly since they cook everything on the same grill.
A charming spot near Osaka with delightful creamy treats and a must-try waffle cone that’s a game changer!

It was so delicious!
Since I am gluten-free, I was also grateful that the corn was made from rice flour.
I'm pregnant and have morning sickness, so I'm limited in what I can eat, but the ice cream and corn here were delicious ^^

Friendly people. Gluten-free options! Had a choice of three different soups. I've had two that were tasty. Not spectacular... but if you fancy a snack or lunch, highly recommended. Also check out the other branches! There are several in Osaka. But also in Tokyo, among others!

You’ll never have beef like this! What an experience - if you’ve never had A5 beef before it’s a great way to start. You pay for the experience but it’s absolutely worth it. Our private chef was Ishikawa and he was so friendly and cooked our beef perfectly. They catered very easily and well for my coeliac husband. Worth every penny!
A must-visit gem in Osaka with a dreamy atmosphere, unforgettable memories, and tempting desserts always keeps people coming back for more.

I've been there several times during lunch time.
I love this restaurant because it's reasonably priced, delicious, and has a great atmosphere!
Best of all, they have gluten-free noodles, which is helpful (I have a mild wheat allergy).
This is one of those stores that would be in trouble if it disappeared.
We also recommend the dessert cake!
Great for lunch with friends or by yourself.
Savor delicious options in a cozy spot, complete with fun toys for kids that make meals feel special.

Did you know that there is a set that can be eaten gluten-free?
We have hamburgers and hot dogs
It's for kids and comes with toys.
When I refused the toy, he gave me a ballpoint pen.
happy
The taste is also delicious
It's a little small, but since it's rice bread, it's quite filling.
A vibrant spot where you can customize colorful bowls with fresh ingredients for a delightful meal after exploring the nearby castle.

After visiting Osaka’s Castle, I went there. I ate a poke bowl and an açai bowl.
The staff was really nice and help me to make my own gluten free bowl. They checked the ingredients.
I get a bowl made with salad, shrimp and chicken, edamame, tomatoes, avocado and Mexican dressing.
I am really happy about this experience.
Curry restaurant located off the side street. Chain restaurant serves a variety of curry options with dietary information when asked. 1 gluten-free option.
I enjoyed breakfast at around 6:50am on a weekday at Dining & Bar LAVAROCK on the 3rd floor of the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel, located right next to JR Shin-Osaka Station.
This restaurant is near Shin-Osaka Station, and even non-guests can enjoy the breakfast buffet (all-you-can-eat breakfast) from 6am to 10am for 3,900 yen including tax, which is great.
Reservations are not accepted, so you can use it freely without making a reservation.
The restaurant is very bright, spacious, and clean, with about 100 seats. You can choose your seat at any time, and I chose a seat by the window at the back of the restaurant.
There are newspapers such as the Nikkei newspaper near the entrance, so you can read them freely.
The restaurant was playing quiet, calming Western music in the background.
As for food, salads, bread, fruit, Japanese food, and drinks, you can eat and drink as much as you like. The following were ordered at the table, and were also all-you-can-eat.
<Egg dishes>
・Osaka rolled omelette
・Omelette or scrambled eggs (choose from ham, bacon, chicken, mushrooms, herbs, spinach, tomato, jalapeno, onion, emmental, red cheddar, or feta cheese)
・Fried egg (one-sided or two-sided, soft-boiled or hard-boiled)
・Eggs Benedict
・Poached eggs

・Tomato juice
・Orange juice
Then I chose the following food, which was also high quality and delicious
・Green beans
・Sausage
・Bacon
・Fried king oyster mushrooms

You can choose your takoyaki, which is Osaka after all! Foreigners also seemed to enjoy adding dried bonito flakes and sauces to their food♪
- Yudofu
- Okara (fried tofu)
- Spinach salad
- Salmon
- Bamboo shoots
- Burdock, beef and konjac stir-fry
- Thick omelet
- Red miso soup (with wakame, rolled gluten and spring onions)
As expected, it has a slight sourness and the dashi goes really well♪
- Eggs Benedict
Creamy and delicious♪
- Omelette (ham, chicken, mushrooms, herbs, spinach, tomato, onion, feta cheese)
I later realized that fruit, salad, cheese, prosciutto, bread, etc. were near the entrance, so I ordered the following♪
Please note that the all-you-can-eat corner is divided into two areas.
・Grapefruit
・Melon
・Red globe
・Blueberry
・Cherry tomato
・Broccoli
・Danish (strawberry)
・Prosciutto
・Pastrami
・Smoked salmon
・Red cheddar cheese
・Cream cheese
・Feta cheese
・Camembert cheese
・Pancakes
Two cute little pancakes with white whipped cream
・Waffles
Fragrant and moist with plenty of maple syrup and white whipped cream
Payment can be made with PayPay or credit card, so it's easy to pay without cash♪
Dining & Bar LAVAROCK, located on the 3rd floor of the Courtyard by Marriott Shin-Osaka Station, just a short walk from JR Shin-Osaka Station, is highly recommended for its high-quality breakfast, which can be enjoyed in the early morning!
An unforgettable experience with attentive service that goes above and beyond to ensure a great visit.

📍Delicious rice flour cake rolls that go beyond traditional cake rolls📍
JPY1944 Mango Rice Flour Cake Roll Seasonal Limited
❤️Different from cake rolls with a solid texture, the Japanese-style cake rolls here are as fluffy, moist and melt-in-the-mouth as sponge cakes. They are paired with smooth animal-based whipped cream and are delicious!
👉🏻I can’t tell it’s a gluten-free dessert.
Even better than the usual cake rolls made with flour.
👉🏻After I finished eating and looked at the ingredients, I realized that it was a gluten-free dessert made with 100% Koshihikari rice flour produced in Niigata Prefecture!
❤️🩹The fruit filling in the cake roll, the mango is not very sweet
❤️🩹I also bought another fruit and cheese cup dessert in a glass, which is not bad but very ordinary.
It just tastes like a bunch of fruit + jelly + yogurt.
🌟Refrigerate below 10 degrees
Summary ✨The rice flour cake roll is many times more delicious than the dessert in the glass.

The meals are delicious, the salty desserts are great, very refreshing and not burdensome, the gluten-free waffles are very good, and the take-away piece of gluten-free chiffon cake is also delicious, just like the taste of ordinary cakes!
