85BAL TEPPEN

A creative bar in Sangenjaya with a casual atmosphere and authentic flavors. My first encounter was when our family had dinner there about 2 years ago. The location is a bit hard to find, and I got lost the first time, but now that I know the deliciousness, that's part of its hidden-gem charm. This time for lunch, I ordered the Jingisukan-style lamb. With salad, soup, and brown rice for ¥1,900. 85BAL TEPPEN's menu is committed to organic ingredients — no white sugar, MSG, or additives. They also try to avoid wheat flour where possible. This day's lunch menu was all wheat-free (though some items use soy sauce with wheat components)! Dinner pasta is mostly wheat-based, however. If they have gluten-free pasta available, they'll substitute. Also, the original rice flour bread from this shop is a must — fluffy, chewy, and exquisite. The Jingisukan-style lamb had 3 slices of meat on the plate. I'd thought of it as a treat-yourself lunch, but for the flavor and volume, it might actually be a bargain. Staff are friendly and consider allergies and preferences carefully — a wonderful shop. I'd love to visit again!
