Cafe dining Kohga / gluten free labo
The menu is entirely labelled gluten-free except for pasta which offers a choice between rice flour or wheat.
Per-allergen evidence
The menu is entirely labelled gluten-free except for pasta which offers a choice between rice flour or wheat. The owner uses separate utensils for rice-flour dishes and does not share frying oil for items where cross-contact is a concern. Multiple coeliac diners report safe experiences, including a special gluten-free New Year's meal. However, regular wheat pasta and pizza are also available on the same premises, and the owner notes that 100% contamination-free cannot be guaranteed. Call ahead to discuss your needs; the owner is known to be knowledgeable and willing to adapt dishes.

The official menu states they accommodate vegetarian requests. A dedicated vegan curry and multiple vegetable-based rice flour dishes are available. Meat dishes exist but are clearly marked. Best to confirm with the owner if strict vegetarian (no fish sauce, etc.) is needed.

Dairy is used in several dishes (e.g., gluten-free pizza base, French toast using milk, gratin with milk). The menu marks dairy with a symbol. The venue can remove dairy on request and substitute with soy alternatives. Cross-contact risk from shared kitchen equipment is not separately addressed for dairy, so coeliac-level separation does not apply. Suitable for dairy-free if you confirm modifications with the owner.

Egg appears in some dishes (e.g., French toast, omelette rice) and is marked on the menu. The venue states it can modify dishes (removal of egg is possible based on the general accommodation claim). No dedicated equipment for egg-free preparation is mentioned, and cross-contact is possible in the shared kitchen. Discuss modifications with the owner before ordering.

The menu notes that substitute ingredients for removed allergens (dairy, egg) are basically soy products. Soy is listed as a possible substitute but not flagged as a primary allergen in most dishes. The venue can accommodate soy-free requests if discussed in advance; the owner is knowledgeable and willing to adjust.
Shrimp and scallops appear in certain dishes (e.g., rice flour shrimp macaroni gratin). The menu marks shellfish, and the owner can change shrimp to scallops if requested. No dedicated equipment is mentioned, and the shared kitchen presents cross-contact risk. Best to call ahead to discuss options.

The official menu states 'corresponds to halal' but provides no specifics about halal certification, meat sourcing, or dedicated preparation. The venue serves pork dishes (e.g., in lasagna) and alcohol is not mentioned. Call ahead to discuss requirements; halal diners should verify with the owner directly.
Cited references
No source explicitly mentions low-FODMAP accommodation. The venue is knowledgeable about allergens and uses rice flour as a base for many dishes (naturally low in fructans), but no FODMAP-specific information or marked menu exists. Likely worth a call to the owner to discuss individual triggers.
