There's a very interesting story about me and this restaurant. I moved here almost one year ago, and as a gluten sensitive person, I was trying to find places, restaurants and cafes, that had GF options. Of course Soranoiro was one of the first reccomended restaurants, but because it's located in Hanzomon, an area where basically only salaryman gather, I never really had any reason to go, and I kept postponing, again and again, until I forgot.
Flash forward to May, nine months later I'm working in Hanzomon, only for a short while, and I'm trying to find a restaurant who has at least one rice based meal option. Suddenly I notice that Soranoiro is just one minute away from my workplace! Life is really unexpected right? I wonder what is karma trying to tell me ahaha
Anyway, the vegetarian ramen was great, and it's really easy to customise each order with gluten free noodles, I personally really reccomend Soranoiro to everyone, people that enjoy ramen and people that want to try new flavours such as vegetables ramen.

Read moreThis is a great place for a regular Ramen experience or if you have any food restrictions. They had a very well priced kids ramen option that you can combine with various add ons. You order at the ticket machine and they have an English menu card that translates what’s on the ticket machine. If you need help, the staff is very helpful and can guide you through it. I needed the GF option and the lady helped me through the order process, and they understand gluten free so I didn’t have to fumble through a translation. My kids were able to enjoy a traditional ramen bowl while I could also have a GF meal. The only downside is that the cha su options are not GF at this location, so I had to go with the vegan option. However, the ramen was delicious, especially with the zesty garlic condiment. It’s...
