Gluten Free T's Kitchen Ueno-hirokoji at Go Akihabara

Asia's first GIG-certified gluten-free restaurant, in APA Hotel Ueno-hirokoji, with vegan and pescatarian menus.

Gluten Free T's Kitchen's Ueno-hirokoji branch is the sister of the Roppongi original and the first restaurant in Asia to be certified as a Validated Gluten Free Safe Spot by the Gluten Intolerance Group. Opened in March 2024 inside the APA Hotel Ueno-hirokoji in Sotokanda, it operates a dedicated gluten-free cooking space and caters to vegetarians, vegans and pescatarians as well as coeliacs. The menu also lists other allergens clearly. Service runs across breakfast, lunch and dinner, with morning walk-ins welcome and reservations recommended for the rest of the day. The kitchen prepares American breakfasts, vegan pho and rice bowls, alongside a rotating set of dishes designed for diverse dietary needs. There is no lift to the restaurant and seating is limited, so advance booking is advised. For diners with gluten or other dietary restrictions, T's Kitchen offers a rare level of assurance in central Tokyo. The careful sourcing and dedicated kitchen make it a trusted stop for anyone seeking safe, flavourful food in the Akihabara and Ueno area.
