100% Buckwheat Soba Noodles ZUZU

This is a soba noodle shop that opened in April. Although their Instagram stated they were gluten-free, I couldn't find any mention of gluten-free toppings or broth, so I inquired beforehand and received the following response before visiting the shop: • They use gluten-free soy sauce, and their menu is basically gluten-free. • They currently have two soba noodle dishes that are not gluten-free. • When visiting, please inform the staff that you would like a gluten-free item, just to be sure. When I inquired on the day, they explained that everything except the curry soba (which contains curry powder and wheat) was gluten-free, and I ordered the "Octopus and Shiso Peperoncino Soba." As expected, it tasted like Italian soba with soba noodles instead of pasta, and it was delicious! Perhaps considering that 100% buckwheat noodles are prone to breaking, they were cut to a shorter length, making them easy to eat. The menu is generally Italian-inspired, with most dishes being soba without broth. There are some Japanese-style dishes, but the only one that's typical of a soba restaurant is zaru soba (cold soba noodles). They had a menu with both Italian and Japanese influences, so I wanted to try everything that caught my eye. They were also very helpful and understanding regarding gluten-free options. If they don't seem too busy, I think it would be a good idea to ask the owner about any concerns you may have.
