Tempura Asakusa (THE CITY Asakusa Kaminarimon 7F) was such a special find, especially as a gluten-free traveler. We had one vegetarian omakase and one fish omakase (5 courses each), and the first three courses were the same for both. Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. As someone with gluten intolerance, I was over the moon to eat tempura again. The entire restaurant is dedicated gluten-free and is listed on the Find Me Gluten Free app, and I felt completely confident eating here. I also felt very confident in the vegetarian meal as they used a separate broth and even a different soy sauce without fish products, and the staff clearly understood every ingredient they were serving. The chef and staff were incredibly kind and engaging. The chef invited us to participate throughout the meal: a little “cheers” moment with our hot ginger tea and a fun, enthusiastic presentation when she revealed the smoked squid/eel. She carefully explained how to eat each piece, which sauces to pair with which tempura, and when to use the different salts. It felt intentional, welcoming, and very professional. You can tell they take pride in their work. The space is intimate (about 10 counter seats), warm, and thoughtfully designed with wood tones, cherry blossoms, coat hooks, and even phone chargers. It’s about 100 feet from Asakusa Station Exit 2, on the 7th floor. We walked in at 1pm on a Tuesday and luckily got the last two seats, but others had reservations. We stayed about 1.5–2 hours and paid under $100 total for two full omakase courses, which felt like a good value for the quality and care. If you’re gluten-free (or vegetarian) and want a delicious, beautifully executed tempura experience in Tokyo, this place is absolutely worth visiting.

Alcuni dei cibi più fantastici che abbia mai mangiato. È tutto senza glutine! Anche la salsa di soia.\n\nSe visiti a fine febbraio, prova il tè allo zenzero. Abbiamo avuto il tempura di pesce e wagyu. Entrambi erano fantastici, ma il wagyu era il protagonista dello spettacolo.\n\nIl personale era cordiale, il bagno e l'atmosfera erano bellissimi e il cibo era perfetto.

il personale era così cordiale e molto utile nel spiegare i piatti. La tempura era incredibile - non era eccessivamente impanata come si può trovare altrove, la giusta quantità di impanatura. Il tè dashi era uno dei migliori che abbia mai avuto. Le porzioni erano estremamente generose eppure dopo il pasto non ci si sentiva pesanti poiché tutto era senza glutine. 10/10 non vedo l'ora di tornare ♥️
