This page is intentionally broader than a dedicated gluten-free list. It includes restaurants with allergy menus, clearer ingredient handling, gluten-free options or a stronger record of serving diners with dietary restrictions. The goal is to help travelers shortlist restaurants worth checking, not to replace a direct allergy conversation with the restaurant.
Dedicated kitchens are the safest category for severe allergies and celiac disease. Allergy-aware restaurants can still be useful for lower-risk diners or mixed groups, but cross-contact, shared fryers and sauce ingredients must be confirmed. Use the filters to separate dedicated or celiac-friendly venues from broader options.
Pick two or three backup restaurants near each part of your itinerary, carry a Japanese allergy card and avoid assuming that English menu labels cover hidden ingredients. Tokyo is improving quickly, but allergies still require more preparation than vegan or vegetarian dining.
Carry a written allergy card and ask 'Arerugī no menyū wa arimasu ka?' (Do you have an allergy menu?). Showing the specific ingredients you must avoid, in Japanese, is far safer than speaking English.
Wheat (in soy sauce and batter), egg, dairy, buckwheat, shellfish and nuts all turn up unexpectedly. Soy sauce and dashi are the most common surprises — see our hidden-ingredients guide.
Yes. For severe allergies or celiac disease, a fully dedicated gluten-free / allergy-free kitchen (like several on this list) removes cross-contamination risk that regular restaurants can't guarantee.
