Kinatei

This is a 100% vegetarian restaurant: no animal protein is used in any dish, and all cooking utensils, pots, knives, and plates have never been used for meat, fish, or shellfish. The owner/chef is a committed vegan, structurally ensuring no cross-contamination from animal products. Soup stock uses only mushrooms and seaweed.

The chef and owner follows a vegan diet and teaches vegan cooking. No animal protein enters the kitchen, and its utensils have never touched meat or fish. Some dishes include dairy, but plant-based options are labeled clearly. Requests can be accommodated with advance notice. The venue is strongly trusted for vegan needs.

Gluten-free items (udon, ramen, daily lunch) are explicitly listed on the menu, but the kitchen shares space with gluten-containing dishes and gluten-free meals require advance notice (3 days for lunch). The owner, who teaches gluten-free cooking, can accommodate but cross-contact risk exists in the shared kitchen. Several sources confirm gluten-free options are available.

Dairy is present in the kitchen and some dishes contain dairy. The owner can accommodate dairy-free requests with advance notice (contact as soon as possible), but no dedicated dairy-free equipment is mentioned and the evening omakase menu does not allow individual dish modifications without prior arrangement.

A single HappyCow review notes that the staff acknowledged a peanut allergy, indicating willingness to accommodate. No structural policies, dedicated equipment, or advance procedures for nut allergies are described elsewhere. Call ahead to confirm suitability.

The restaurant lists 'halal options available' on HappyCow and carries a 'Muslim-Friendly Menu' tag on Vegewel, but no halal certification, dedicated equipment, or kitchen practice details are mentioned. Contacting in advance to verify whether requirements can be met is advisable.
