Set your diet with the 🌱 / 🌾 pills above — tap to adjust strictness, long-press for a guide.
Each pin shows a symbol = gluten-free safety, readable without telling colours apart. Tap any pin for details. Drag the vermilion “you are here” pin to scout another area; tap ◎ to snap back.
The symbol, shape, and colour all say the same thing — dark navy 🛡 → blue ✓ → amber ◐ → hollow dashed ◇ → small grey ·, safest to least. No red/green, so it reads without distinguishing hues. Pins follow whichever dial you're using — GF, or vegan (🌱) when that's the active dial. Tap the 🌾 GF / 🌱 Vegan pills to relax one level at a time (long-press for the full guide).

Tap the 🌱 Vegan or 🌾 GF pill to choose how strict you want to be — each tap relaxes one level and shows more places; the dots (●●●●●) show where you are. Tap past the last level to switch it off. Long-press a pill to reopen this guide.
Even the strictest tier is decision support, not a guarantee — always confirm cross-contamination (and, for vegans, bonito dashi) with the staff.
Leading a mixed group? This finds spots where everyone can eat within a short walk — even if that means splitting across 2–3 nearby places. Set who's along, then "meet back in an hour."
Omnivores can eat anywhere nearby — no need to set them.
Hand your phone to the staff — these explain the diet in Japanese, including the things that trip people up here (wheat hidden in soy sauce; fish dashi in almost everything).
Photograph a menu — even somewhere not in this app — and get what looks safe for gluten-free and vegan diners, plus questions to ask (English, Japanese & romaji).
Found somewhere that isn’t in the app? Send it to us and we’ll research it to the same standard as every other place — GF & vegan evidence, menu, the people behind it. It usually appears within a day.
The safety net for the evening the plan falls through. These are everywhere, open late, and — unlike almost anything else — they publish per-item allergen data. Ordered best-first for each diet.
Point or read aloud — each phrase has the Japanese (with kana over the kanji to learn it) and romaji to pronounce it. Hand staff the phone if it's easier.
Decision support, not a guarantee — scan the label (原材料名) on every item. Pick a chain, then check the shopping lists.
Photograph the 原材料名 (ingredients) panel on any package — we’ll translate it and flag wheat/gluten & animal products. Decision-support, not a guarantee.
Tap the card to flip · 🔊 to hear it. Five minutes a day for a week goes a long way.
The dishes you'll meet most across Kyoto's kitchens — tap one for its story, and how it reads for gluten-free & vegan diners.
Dial in what you're craving — we'll rank the closest shops.
