Gluten-Free Sweets Senmon Ten NachuRa

— Turning a constraint into a genre

NachuRa's concept is clear: handmade gluten-free sweets. Run by patissier Yuhi Hasada, the showcase at the Yoyogi-Koen shop holds baked goods, cakes, and cream puffs made with rice flour and other ingredients. For people with wheat allergies or gluten limits, it is a place that steps away from cafe-hopping with few options, but more than that, the focus is on products that push back against the idea that gluten-free means lacking. Drinks include coffee and house-made ginger ale. Sweets for dogs and cats are also offered. On the ground floor of a small building in Tomigaya, it presents gluten-free not as a constraint but as a genre.
