SEED CAFE

Family-run cafe where the owner's daughter has gluten intolerance herself and is in charge of all allergy/English communication. A separate gluten-free menu is offered with dedicated fryer, cookware, utensils, and freshly replaced oil for each GF order. The kitchen is shared (not dedicated), and the owner explicitly states 'Walkins:LimitedMenu*NotCoeliacSafe' while pre-booked guests receive full-menu strict safety protocols. Multiple coeliac diners report zero reactions and high confidence. Advance booking is mandatory for strict dietary needs.

Dairy-free

confidence 0.55 ·

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

Listed in Tokyo's dairy-free friendly guide on FindMeGlutenFree, and several reviewers tag 'good for dairy-free'. No dedicated dairy-free menu or equipment is advertised. Staff can accommodate on request, but quality may vary by shift and the owner's daughter (who handles allergies) may not always be present.
