DIETARY NEEDS
Dietary needs & allergies
QIs everything gluten-free?
Yes. Every menu item is gluten-free. We do not use wheat flour in our kitchens, and our noodles are made at our own dedicated gluten-free noodle facility.
QDo you serve anything that is not vegan?
Every item is 100% vegan and made only with vegan ingredients.
QWhy did you create vegan, gluten-free Ramen?
It began about sixteen years ago, when soy milk pâtissière Yukiko Uno made a cake for a boy with 23 food allergies. We want visitors from around the world to experience Japanese food culture in Kyoto regardless of allergies or beliefs. This Ramen was born not as a trend, but as hospitality.
QWhat is your original Koujun soybean?
In 2013, our soy milk pâtissière began breeding a soybean truly suited to soy milk. Koujun is sweet, rich, free from bitterness and high in amino acids that create umami. It produces natural depth without relying on seasonings. Every bowl of UNO RAMEN begins not in the kitchen, but in the field.
QCan you remove specific allergens?
Every menu item is gluten-free, vegan and nut-free. For other allergies, please tell our staff before ordering. We may not be able to accommodate every request.
QDo you use alcohol in the food?
Alcohol is not used in our food. Alcoholic beverages are served, and alcohol-based sanitizer is used for cleaning.
QDo you offer dishes without the five pungent roots or alliums?
We offer dishes without the five pungent roots: Setsugetsu Ramen, creamy okara croquettes, sprouted brown rice with seared soy milk cheese, and edamame. Please also confirm with our staff when ordering.
QAre you halal-certified?
We are not halal-certified. Setsugetsu Ramen, nuggets, sprouted brown rice with seared soy milk cheese, and edamame may suit stricter requirements. Please ask our staff according to your own standards, including whether fermented foods are acceptable.
