A counter tempura restaurant whose entire menu is gluten-free (rice-flour batter plus house-made GF soy sauce and broth) and which is halal certified. It is not a separate dedicated GF facility, so highly sensitive celiacs should confirm cross-contact directly; vegetarian tempura courses are also offered.
★ Creamy soy-milk ramen with rice-flour noodles and gluten-free soy sauce
A vegan and gluten-free ramen specialist in Gion run by patissier Yukiko Uno, using rice-flour-and-kelp noodles and gluten-free soy sauce in a soy-milk broth — one of Kyoto's most reliably gluten-free, fish-dashi-free ramen options. The strongest 'dedicated kitchen' claims come from third-party listings rather than the venue itself, so celiac diners should confirm cross-contamination protocol directly with staff.
★ Spicy shoyu chicken ramen with halal-verified ingredients
A halal chicken-ramen counter near Karasuma/Shijo from the Ayam-Ya group, third-party halal-certified (by the Malaysia Halal Corporation), fully pork- and alcohol-free with separate halal storage and tableware, an English menu and a prayer room. It is effectively a lunch-only shop and closes midweek, so check hours before visiting.
★ Rice-flour bagels, baguettes and gluten-free, mostly-vegan baked goods
A dedicated gluten-free, rice-flour bakery and shop in Kichijoji (the name is literally 'genuine gluten free'), whose breads, bagels and cakes are largely vegan and additive-free. It focuses on baked goods and online orders with a physical store; if you need a sit-down meal or strict celiac handling, confirm directly before visiting.
★ Brown-rice (genmai) bread and gluten-free taiyaki
A dedicated gluten-free, rice-flour bakery counter in the basement of Shibuya Scramble Square, making breads, taiyaki and sweets with no wheat, additives or white sugar, and many items are vegan and dairy-free. It is a grab-and-go bakery rather than a sit-down meal, and as a dedicated GF facility cross-contamination risk is low though not certified celiac-safe.
★ Rich chicken-paitan ramen topped with spicy fried chicken
A halal ramen specialist near Ebisu Station serving rich chicken-paitan bowls plus Japanese sides, with an English menu and prayer space. The Ebisu branch is halal-certified (the chain obtained certification in 2020); confirm the certifying body on the in-store certificate, as Honolu's other branches vary.
★ Customisable Japanese curry rice with halal toppings; pick your rice size and spice level
The halal-CERTIFIED branch of Japan's biggest curry chain, certified by NAHA (Nippon Asia Halal Association) with halal ingredients, separate utensils and a pork- and alcohol-free kitchen. Note that only this Akihabara branch is certified, not other CoCo Ichibanya locations.
★ Edo-mae nigiri sets with halal-verified soy sauce, vinegar and toppings
Billed as one of Japan's first halal sushi restaurants, serving Edo-mae nigiri where the soy sauce, vinegar and toppings are halal-verified (certification via the Japan Halal Foundation), with a small prayer room nearby. Note it also operates as an izakaya, so confirm with staff which dishes are alcohol-free.
★ Handmade miso soup with organic vegetables, paired with onigiri
A miso-soup-and-onigiri specialist near Kaminarimon serving dashi-based soups with organic vegetables; most bowls are dashi and miso based with no dairy (the 'creamy' soup uses soy milk, not milk). For severe allergies, confirm ingredients with staff.
★ Vegan tempura, waffles and seasonal plant-based plates
A fully plant-based restaurant near Asakusa Station where every dish is vegan, additive-free and gluten-free, so it is dairy-free by definition. A per-dish allergen chart is published, so check it for nut content; we have not confirmed it is nut-free and do not tag it as such.
A cafe a 2-minute walk from Kaminarimon serving food without pork or alcohol, using halal meat alongside vegan and vegetarian dishes. Muslim-friendly / pork- and alcohol-free, not third-party halal-certified.
A halal-CERTIFIED ramen shop (no pork) about 7 minutes from Asakusa Station, building its broth from over 20 varieties of wagyu beef and seasonings, with a dedicated prayer room. Sister concept to Gyumon's Shibuya wagyu yakiniku.
A small, reservation-only vegan restaurant in Asakusa serving a chef's 10–14 course tasting menu. It seats only a handful of guests and opens a limited number of days per week, so reserve ahead.
