Very delicious and super safe

Marcus S

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.

Tyler Knip

Nice they have a vegan/gluten free option. Pricey.

Mel Griffin

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.

Quiet and very nice place a little separated from the crowds. Menus marked gluten free

Candela Mercado

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 🧡

Has a gluten free menu and I enjoyed the prawn tempura

Anne Namuth

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

Lydia C.

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.

Beautiful restaurant run by an adorable couple. Attention celiacs: they have an incredible 100% gluten-free menu adaptation. To choose sake, they did a small tasting of 4 for me. All the food was delicious, they cook in front of you. Reservation required, but very easy to manage by email.

Johanna Pál

Very funny place ❤️. Food is very very tasty and has super atmosphere. The owner is full of energy, he could give me some 😂. ❤️ I am glutenfree and option called ZERO was the only gf food I could eat. It was extremely delicious ❤️. Thank you for the good food and funny atmosphere 😘.

Alex Durso

Love this coffee shop. The Hojicha tea lattes are excellent. They also have a gluten free lemon cake that was perfect and not too sweet.

Mel Griffin

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

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.

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!

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.

Food was amazing, best in Japan by far. Owners were very nice and friendly. We went for lunch and then dinner the next day, a must for vegans and gluten free in Kanazawa

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!

Sasha Simms-Rowan

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.

Mechi Barrón

Café planet is a gluten free paradise in Kyoto. Food is very good. I really enjoyed their cookies. The only bad thing is that they are only cash..

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!

Say T.

I wish there were more stores like this because it's gluten-free. The restaurant is stylish and the food is delicious.

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.

May Ly

I was soooo excited to randomly find a gluten free cafe on our way to Nara Park. The chestnut cake was divine 😍😍 we had the Oriental vegan plate, while not a fan of vegan soy meats everything else was amazing. I loved the tea selections and gluten free cakes. They have an upstairs seating area (Japanese style on the floor) as well as a few seats downstairs. It was a little tricky to find the entrance as it seems like you’re walking through a gap at the end of the fence so it was a really fun find!

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.

Melissa

vegan and gluten-free ramen really delicious, especially the one with soy milk. I've been back three times already!

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.

Tad Ochwat

This was one of our favorite restaurants in Osaka. They had a great selection and it was perfect for my partner who is vegan and gluten free.

JJ A

The best thing is that it is not crowded. Relaxed atmosphere. Decaffeinated coffee is also available. Selling vegan and gluten-free cakes.

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!

ima

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

Stella Cook

Sachte

Many gluten free options for lunch and different gluten free cakes. The staff were attentive and took my coeliac condition seriously, answering all my questions with care and to the best of their knowledge. It was reassuring to see them checking all the dishes on the menu that they could safely offer me. Most importantly, the cakes were delicious.

María Larrad

Good place to dine on Indian food. The day we arrived in Kanazawa at 8:00 p.m. it was the only thing that was open. They attended to us with detail and care. The food was good, the desserts were the best. They were very careful with gluten since I am celiac. Ordered two curries and my partner ordered some nan.

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

Fabio

Great place, super kind and gluten-free food!!! Both savory and sweet are excellent

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?

Diana “Dee” Falvo

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

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.

Daniel Allen

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

pietro zani

the place is 100% gluten free and it's really good. I advise you to take the mochi and the cakes! amazing!

Mike Crenshaw

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.

・It was a very good shop, I will repeat it. ・Vegan, gluten-free, and vegetarian meals and desserts available ・I feel healthy and feel good even when I eat sweets without feeling guilty ・It tastes and looks good, so I simply made it gluten-free.It was completely different from the restaurants I had eaten at in the past. ・I want to try the food menu next time. ・Personally recommended

pietro zani

place with gluten free option including the little white fish that are very traditional of Kamakura. they also have gluten free soy sauce. thank you!

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! 😄

Arnau Roig

Spectacular Curry place, they only have a gluten-free option that is delicious and the value for money is spectacular, 2 plates of rice with curry and two glasses of Coca-Cola for less than €9
