New shop: @veganstore.japan all-vegan convenience store + GF restaurant! Was passing through the area last night and stopped by to check it out. The downstairs store has some GF items, like sweets from @daughter_boutique and rice milk, and the restaurant upstairs is all GF. They use organic vegetables in their dishes too. Luckily Vegan Store is close to a couple of major tourist destinations, Senso-ji Temple and Skytree, so you can stop by after or before visiting these spots. Asakusa has an old-school charm to it too, so it’s a fun place stare in shop windows and wander the shopping streets. Looking for more GF shops around Japan? Check out our Google map, link in Insta profile or on our blog. If you eat here, let us know how it is! Seems like an ideal place for our #veganglutenfree followers! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #glutenfree #glutenfreejapan #glutenfreetokyo #veganbento #glutenfreevegan #glutenfreerestaurant #tokyoguide #tokyorestaurantguide #tokyovegan #glutenfreeguide #asakusa #glutenfreetravel #celiactravel #vegantravel #veganjapan #tokyorestaurant #organicfood #グルテンフリー #グルテンフリー生活 #ビーガンカフェ #ビーガン #ビーガン東京 #オーガニック #オーガニック生活 @timeouttokyo_ @thejapantimes
We were able to satisfy our fried food cravings at Gluten-Free T's restaurant in Roppongi. 🍤We tried the shrimp and veggie tempura and it did not disappoint. . . . If you're looking for gluten-free Japanese food, Gluten-free T's has a lot of options. They are also conveniently located in the heart of Roppongi, near museums and Tokyo Tower.🗼 . . . @glutenfreetskitchen #glutenfree #gfguidejapan #glutenfreejapan #glutenfreejapanesefood #glutenfreetokyo #グルテンフリー #天ぷら #tempura #fried

Just added a new GF-friendly (vegan/vegetarian, dairy-free options) restaurant to our map in Shinjuku! Many GF travelers struggle to find safe food, and if you’re vegan or vegetarian, it can be even harder. My husband and I found this place about a week ago and we’ve already been twice because it was so good! While nothing on the menu is explicitly GF, South Indian cuisine has a lot of naturally GF dishes. Show the staff your allergy card for help. ⚠️ The kitchen also handles wheat items, so CC is possible. Link to our map is in our profile, 200+ locations around Japan, and we’re adding more locations all the time. Is there any place missing? DM or let us know in the comments. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #glutenfreejapan #glutenfreetravel #glutenfreetokyo #southindianfood #tokyoeats #shinjuku #glutenfreeshinjuku #グルテンフリー #tokyorestaurant #tokyo #glutenfree #glutenfreelifestyle #naturallyglutenfree #vegetariantokyo #glutenfreedairyfree #tokyofood #tokyofoodie #インドカレー #南インド #南インドカレー #glutenfreevegetarian #glutenfreevegan
We visited Costco Tamasakai in Hachioji, Tokyo.💸 Here are just a few of our gluten-free findings. . . . 1. Turkey Jerky 2. Classico tomato sauce (saves my butt when I need to make a quick dinner) 3. Canadian bacon (nice for sandwiches and breakfast) 4. Quinoa (huge bag!) 5. Tortilla chips (you don't need a party to eat 2.5lbs of these 😉) 6. Belgian chocolate 7. Protein bars 8. Trail Mix 9. Instant mashed potatoes . There is also a great selection of produce, dairy products, appliances and English language children's books. . . . Sorry for the wonky pics, was chasing around two toddlers.😅 . . Memberships are ¥4,400 for a year and can even be used in the US. . . #costco #costcoglutenfree #gfguidejapan #glutenfreetravel #glutenfreejapan #glutenfreeshopping #glutenfree #グルテンフリー #groceryshopping
Looking for some weeknight fun? Today and tomorrow at Hanazono Shrine in Shinjuku there’s a colorful and free festival: Toro-no-ichi. The shrine is right next to Golden Gai and Kabukicho. Kumade, literally bear paw, are decorated rakes that bring good luck; they are sold at various stalls around the shrine. They are expensive souvenirs, but looking around is free! People also bring their Kumade from last year to throw in a pile that is later burned. There will be food and drink stalls. However, GF options will be very limited, or maybe nonexistent. For tips on booze, read our newest blog post. Also our blog post “Gluten-Free Shinjuku”, and our GF map (link in profile), lists lots of nearby places to grab dinner or snacks. There are also other Toro-no-ichi celebrations happening at shrines, so you might check if there’s one happening in your area. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #shinjuku #glutenfreejapan #kabukicho #goldengai #torinoichi #torinoichifestival #glutenfreetravel #celiactravel #japanesefestival #matsuri #traveljapan #グルテンフリー #glutenfreeguide #glutenfreeshinjuku #酉の市 #tokyofestival #tokyoguide
