Ramen is a staple in Japan, but it’s hard for anyone who’s sensitive to gluten to get a chance to try it. Thankfully, Soranoiro’s Tokyo Station outpost offers a gluten-free shio (salt) ramen (¥1,300) option that’s made with brown rice noodles. The ramen is served with seasonal veggies such as tomatoes and broccoli and is topped with chicken slices and an oozy ramen egg. The brown rice noodles have a lovely chewy and springy texture and are sourced from Miyauchiya in Shimane prefecture, makers of all kinds of gluten-free food.
If your gluten allergy isn’t too severe, you can also try swapping regular noodles for brown rice noodles in any of Soranoiro’s other ramen bowls for just ¥250.
