Travel: Kyoto Eats
Kyoto eats. Being gluten free in Japan is a little tough at times. Advanced planning, however, makes it easy to find some amazing places. From ramen to pizza, let’s explore Kyoto eats.

Kyoto Eats
For our first night in Kyoto we made a reservation and Sugarhill. When exploring a new place, I often like to make a nice reservation on our first night to ensure we’ve got a good meal under our belt before we explore too far – being hungry isn’t much fun.
At Sugarhill we had the rice balls and I tried the teriyaki chicken. The rice balls were delicious. For the teriyaki, a lot of folks online love it, I’d say it’s okay. The best part of our meals were the fresh herbs!
Just like in Tokyo eats, we wanted ramen and Kyoto didn’t disappoint. We ate at Engine Ramen twice and had Gion soy milk ramen for lunch one day.
Engine Ramen
You can’t make a reservation at Engine Ramen – show up and give your name, then do some shopping and just be sure you’re back in the area at least 10 minutes before your quoted time. You don’t want to miss your seat!
We ate at the bar downstairs on our first visit in – it was so much fun to watch all the action.
On our second trip to Engine Ramen we ate upstairs and Bryce got a different dish.
For lunch one day we had Gion ramen and it was good, too. All the ramen we had was different and that’s part of the experience, trying foods from various regions.
Other Kyoto Eats
Another awesome lunch spot is Waco Crapes. They’re so good – I got the poppy seed crape. The texture was devine!
On our last day we had lunch at Choice Cafe and their little pizza was perfect. The cold soba noodles were nice and refreshing, too.
Well, there you have it – our gluten free Kyoto eats. I wish we could find decent gluten free ramen here in Edmonton. One day, right!?
Until then, happy travelling – eat up and enjoy your travels.
