Supervisor / Recommender

Refuge and sanctuary for celiac disease and wheat allergy

“Gluten Free cafe Little Bird,” located in Uehara, Shibuya-ku, is a restaurant serve dishes that do not use any wheat, gluten, or barley ingredients.

Little Bird is not well known on the gourmet review sites in Japan, but consistently high-rated throughout the year on “Trip Advisor,” a site which has the world’s largest number of travel reviews.

It has been awarded the Excellence Certificate 2017-2019 and has received great support from foreigners.
Although it is a small cafe with only about 15 seats, there are reasons why foreigners visit Little Bird.

Little Bird is a 3-minute walk from Yoyogi-Hachiman Station, located on the third floor of a building opposite the Tomigaya Library.

Since the entrance to the elevator is narrow and not noted on the signboard, it may be difficult to find the place. It is a hideaway café with a rustic atmosphere on a bare concrete wall.

The original owner of Little Bird was a patissier. And, he also had gluten allergy.
Therefore, he studied allergies and seeked a way to find safe ingredients.
Then, he developed rice flour that is suitable for cooking in order to provide delicious gluten-free dishes.

Also, Little Bird’s menu is particular about originality and taste.
A fluffy pizza, which is usually soft and sticky, is transformed into a crisp texture of rice flour.

In addition to Western foods such as hamburgers, pizzas, and pastas, you can eat Japanese food such as ramen, karaage(fried chicken), udon noodles, desserts and drinks, all gluten-free.

For the noodle menu, Little Bird uses made-in Japan ingredients and products.
People visit Japan, but because most foods contain gluten, it is difficult to find a place where you can enjoy Ramen, Udon, and other Japanese food.
For people with gluten allergy, it is difficult to eat outside and cannot choose the menu you really want to eat.

But in Little Bird, all of the menus in the shop are gluten free, so you can choose whatever you like without checking the ingredient list. It is a place that gives “joy of eating with peace of mind” to all people.

Unique Idea emerges because the owners have Gluten allergy

The previous owner of Little Bird was allergic to gluten.
The current owner, Mr. Okamura, also has severe gluten allergy.

For this reason, he understands the feelings of those who are in the same difficult situation, circumstances of having limited food choice.
So there are a number of menus in Little Bird, regardless of the genre of food.

Mr. Okamura is very sensitive to wheat, and he does not allow any wheat products to be contained in any food.

The root of this strict idea comes from a keen desire to create a place where people with allergy can eat peacefully and without stress.
Currently, Little Bird is recruiting franchises and promoting gluten-free campaigns.

Homemade sweets with rice flour and drinks using extra virgin olive oil are also popular.
