Not safe. :/

To be fair, the carefully discussed roll (tuna, tobiko, salmon) and the ikura nigiri with tamari were fine, but then they offered me miso soup. Now, miso CAN be gluten-free, so I asked whether it was. Waitress said yes, but...cue itchiness, sensation issues, and hand tremor. We'll see tomorrow how bad the exposure was, but this is super-disappointing.

(Could totally be cross-contamination, of course; perhaps the miso was good but other ingredients were cut on the same board or mixed within -- there is a TON of fried stuff on Shimizu's menu, loads of breading integrated in rolls and entrees.)

Celiac friendly?
