⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The establishment is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which increases cross-contact risk in a shared kitchen.
- Staff can and do provide a gluten-free menu and tamari, but there are reports indicating cross-contact cannot be guaranteed.
- Some items, like miso soup, have been described as containing gluten in at least one experience, highlighting variability in kitchen prep.
- Positive recent reports exist (GF menu availability, tamari on request, attentive service), but these are balanced by concerns about cross-contact and non-dedicated facilities.
