Per-allergen evidence

Coeliac · Gluten-free

B
confidence 70%

The restaurant is a vegan establishment that markets itself as 100% gluten-free on its Japanese listing (Hot Pepper Gourmet). However, not all items are gluten-free: the soy meat is clearly marked as containing gluten. Multiple diners report a dedicated gluten-free fryer. One diner was turned away and told there were no safe gluten-free options, while others report helpful staff. Because of these contradictory reports, the kitchen is best described as a shared kitchen with some dedicated equipment but not an entirely safe environment for coeliac diners without confirming directly.

Honest caveat: One reviewer with coeliac was turned away with the statement 'no safe gluten free options'.

Dairy-free

B
confidence 60%

Although the venue is vegan-oriented and claims not to use dairy, at least one review reports that some items such as chocolate contain dairy milk. The menu is not marked for dairy. Diners with dairy allergy should ask staff about every dish.

Honest caveat: One reviewer states some items, including chocolate, contain dairy milk.

Soy-free

C
confidence 50%
Best effort ·what tier C means

The venue's official listing states it does not use meat, fish, eggs, or dairy, but the menu includes 'soy meat' which is clearly marked as containing gluten and likely contains soy as its primary ingredient. For a soy allergy, the presence of soy meat means the kitchen handles soy. Diners need to ask staff which dishes contain soy and which are soy-free.

Nut-free

E
confidence 30%
Limited information ·what tier E means

The venue's Japanese listing states it does not use meat, fish, eggs, dairy, or wheat, but makes no mention of nut-free practices. No source discusses nuts at all. This is a limited thin signal from marketing copy with no independent verification. Those with nut allergies are to call ahead.

Egg-free

E
confidence 30%
Limited information ·what tier E means

The venue's Hot Pepper Gourmet listing explicitly says it does not use eggs. This is a thin positive signal from a venue-controlled source, but there is no independent verification, no dedicated kitchen detail, and no accreditation. Call ahead to confirm the egg-free claim before relying on it.

advance notice required

Halal

E
confidence 30%
Limited information ·what tier E means

The Hot Pepper Gourmet listing for the venue states that it can accommodate halal guests. This is a thin positive signal from venue marketing copy, with no independent verification, no halal certification, and no details about kitchen practice or meat sourcing. Calling ahead to confirm is advisable.
