The Shinjuku birthplace of the cloud-soft 'Heavenly Vegan Pancakes' that draw queues from vegans and non-vegans alike, with gluten-free options on the same menu.
★ Tempura fried in 100% gluten-free rice-flour batter with house-made gluten-free soy sauce and broth; wagyu and seafood tempura bowls are highlights
A counter tempura restaurant whose entire menu is gluten-free (rice-flour batter plus house-made GF soy sauce and broth) and which is halal certified. It is not a separate dedicated GF facility, so highly sensitive celiacs should confirm cross-contact directly; vegetarian tempura courses are also offered.
★ Vegan tempura, waffles and seasonal plant-based plates
A fully plant-based restaurant near Asakusa Station where every dish is vegan, additive-free and gluten-free, so it is dairy-free by definition. A per-dish allergen chart is published, so check it for nut content; we have not confirmed it is nut-free and do not tag it as such.
A cafe a 2-minute walk from Kaminarimon serving food without pork or alcohol, using halal meat alongside vegan and vegetarian dishes. Muslim-friendly / pork- and alcohol-free, not third-party halal-certified.
A small, reservation-only vegan restaurant in Asakusa serving a chef's 10–14 course tasting menu. It seats only a handful of guests and opens a limited number of days per week, so reserve ahead.
★ Seasonal fruit parfait with homemade fruit ice cream
A 1946 greengrocer-turned-parfait parlour near Hanayashiki where seasonal fruit from Ota Market is piled over homemade ice cream, drawing patient queues.
★ No.7 Premium Matcha Gelato — the world's richest
This 1848-founded tea house teams up with Shizuoka's Nanaya to serve matcha gelato in seven escalating intensities, climaxing in a near-black No. 7 so concentrated it tastes like eating pure tea leaves.
