“Located in ramen alley in the basement of Tokyo Station, this ramen shop offers a gluten-free ramen bowl made with brown rice noodles. It comes with chicken, egg, and some vegetables. The texture is a bit different from your typical ramen, but it was still a flavorful, comforting, filling meal.”

Marugen Ramen
Location: Gotemba, Japan
“I showed my allergen card, staff went to check with the kitchen and came back and clarified no peanuts, but asked if I had any other allergies. They seemed thorough and knowledgeable. I also checked their allergen menu I found via QR code, and no peanuts are used in their kitchen.
As for the food, it was so cheap and so tasty! We ended up coming here for dinner 2-3 nights in a row whilst in the area.”

Kyoto Engine Ramen
Location: Kyoto, Japan
“This was some of the best gluten-free ramen I had in Japan. The staff speaks English. They have gluten-free ramen and vegan ramen too! The broth was so perfect—I could drink it if I wanted to. Not really traditional ramen, but it’s an awesome option if you’re traveling with dietary restrictions. There’s limited seating inside, and we waited outside in the rain.”

Ichiran Ramen Shinsaibashi
Location: Osaka, Japan
“Allergens are listed clearly on the menu. Except the almond isn’t identified, despite there being an almond cake type of dessert. However, did not find this to be an issue.”

Setagaya Ramen
Location: Ota City, Japan

Shimbu Sakiya Ramen
Location: Shibuya City, Japan
“Gluten-free ramen AND fried chicken?! Now that’s gluten-free heaven. Check out this ramen shop in Tokyo—they use brown rice noodles, and their menu is labeled with the gluten-free options. You order on the kiosk outside, then give the staff your ticket. They seat you, and then your food is ready shortly after. This was such a warm, comforting meal my first night in Tokyo.”
