Okonomiyaki Mizuno

CROSS CONTAMINATION! I didn’t eat here because when I asked about cross contamination they said they cook it all on the same surface and use the same utensils. Shouldn’t even be on this app

We went here after discovering this spot on FMGF and was so excited to eat somewhere with a Michelin Star! There is a queue to go in and eat but moved fairly quickly. We waited about 45-hour at around 1 PM on a Saturday.

Food was delicious and my group was happy they had other options that were outside of the Gluten Free realm. The menu in English laid out a Gluten Free Option which was a mushroom based option— restaurants in Japan will sometimes have a “wheat free” option but not exclusively gluten free.

They cook in front of you on the same griddles they cook all food on so there may be cross contamination but with the heat from the griddle and the team wiping down between each customer I felt safe enough eating there and did not get sick.

There was a huge queue when I arrived, as apparently it was reviwed by Michelin and it is very popular for tourists. They have English, Chinese and Korean menus. I waited for 45 min to get in and 5 to be served (you order while in the queue).

I must say at the beginning I felt pretty confident in their knowledge as they had a gluten free section and the waiter was able to tell me that the soy sauce was GF. Then I went inside and I had the opportunity to see them cook while eating as it is the japonese typical bar in front of the grill. The cook was using the same cooking instruments for all the meals, most of them containing gluten, but I realized after I ate half of my plate. Definitely there was cross-contamination as I felt sick for the rest of the day... A real pity since it was really tasty.
