⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility, and there is a stated caveat that an allergen-free kitchen cannot be guaranteed.
- There is mention of a dedicated gluten-free fryer in at least one listing, but cross-contact risk remains a consideration, especially in a shared kitchen.
- Some seasonings and components (for example, spice blends like togarashi) could introduce gluten or other allergens if not managed carefully; negotiating removal or substitution may be needed.
- If you rely on ramen, expect gluten-containing noodles unless a clearly gf option is confirmed; use proactive communication with staff.
