Restaurants & Shops

Ramen is a popular meal in Japan, and there are said to be 25,000 and more ramen restaurants. Ramen usually uses noodles made from wheat flour. However, there are about 20 restaurants that serve ramen that uses wheat-free and gluten-free noodles.
Some restaurants have gluten-free everything on their menu, while others may have only the noodles gluten-free, while the toppings and soup may contain wheat ingredients, so be sure to research carefully before eating.
