Oh Nana!

Owner Nana developed celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder related to gluten. Out of her wish to "spread places throughout Japan where everyone — those who need gluten-free, and those who don't — can enjoy the same meal together," this shop was born. It's Japan's first fully gluten-free restaurant that meets European/American standards for celiac disease. Not just Nana herself, but her mother, who manages the shop with her, is extremely knowledgeable. You can dine here with full peace of mind. All the ingredients and seasonings used are gluten-free. Also, many menu items are dairy-free and nut-free, and FODMAP considerations have been taken into account. When she previously visited my family's shop, I had a chance to talk with her at length and quietly looked forward to it: "When she opens her own shop someday, it will surely become a truly wonderful place for those with allergies." And this time, I happened to learn she had just opened the shop, and was able to visit on the very opening day! I had planned to come during cafe time but didn't make it… so I visited during dinner. I ordered the karaage set, which came with four kinds of small side dishes, tempura, sweet potato fries, and inari-zushi. The karaage was exceptional compared to anything I'd had before — crispy outside and tender, juicy inside. The tempura was light and crisp, leaving an impression — both my stomach and heart were filled. Menu items change between lunch, cafe, and dinner times, which is great for someone with dietary restrictions — I'm already looking forward to my next visit. A wonderful shop you'll want to revisit regardless of allergies. Your image of gluten-free will completely change — definitely a repeat customer!
