★ Cook-your-own okonomiyaki with a gluten-free rice-flour batter option
A large, tourist-friendly DIY okonomiyaki spot in Harajuku that offers a gluten-free rice-flour batter on request, with an English menu and vegan/vegetarian options. You cook on a shared griddle where wheat batter is also used, so ask staff about cross-contamination if you are highly sensitive.
★ Creamy sesame-tahini broth ramen with soy meat and raw vegetables
A 100% vegan ramen specialist that opened in June 2025 near Harajuku's Laforet, a few minutes from Meiji-Jingumae Station. Its signature bowl pairs a rich sesame-tahini broth with soy meat and colourful raw vegetables.
★ Baked rice-flour curry pan and cube-shaped rice-flour shokupan
A dedicated gluten-free bakery using Japanese rice flour and natural yeast (no wheat) for breads, curry pan, baguettes and pizzas, many of them also vegan. A small takeout-focused shop, so hours can shift seasonally — confirm before a special trip.
A second-floor all-vegan bistro in Harajuku opened in 2021 by the Kyushu Jangara ramen chain. The menu spans vegan ramen, curries, grilled soy-meat plates, gyoza and karaage.
