The Rice Hack Gluten-Free Bakery located in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan is wonderful! I enjoyed everything I bought and consumed from this bakery. It is 100% gluten-free, they understand the dietary needs of a celiac, and their food is fantastic. I highly recommend dropping by and trying their food if you are in the area. Above is a photo of just some of the varieties of gluten-free bread that they make fresh daily. The baquette was chewy and delicious. The small bread was perfect for sandwiches, it had a great texture and taste and was fantastic the next day. Both breads were good as they were without toasting the next day, unheard of for gluten-free bread!!! The cheese stuffed roll was lovely for lunch.
We tried their Wafu Pizza. Oh my goodness, it was so delicious. The crust was crispy with a nice chew to it and the toppings were perfect, not to overpowering. They use rice flour for the crust. The toppings were cheese, mayonnaise, strips of nori and whitebait called "shirasu" in Japanese (little cooked fish). The toppings may sound strange to some, but I recommend you try it, the pizza was so good. It is about the size of a medium pizza in Canada plenty for 2 people. I would order again.
I ordered a few of these. I love curry buns and was missing them from my pre-celiac days. Rice Hack Gluten-Free Bakery to the rescue! The day I was there you had two choices: cheese and chickpea fillings. I tried both and loved them. The rice bread is soft and I really enjoyed the texture. The buns have gluten-free rice crumbs on top.
Just look at that lovely savoury filling inside the curry bun. The filling was of a medium heat for me. It was a good thing that our accommodation was far away, otherwise I would have been here every day and gained a few pounds! ^-^
Use google maps to help you find it as it is hidden away in a quiet residential area behind Omotesando street area. I was using google maps and wasn't sure I was going in the right direction, but found it. The staff and owner were wonderful. The staff I dealt with spoke English. They are passionate about baking with rice flour and making gluten-free products. Here is a link https://rice-hack-gluten-free-bakery.jimdosite.com/ to their website which at the time of this blog wasn't totally finished yet. You purchase the food from a window that looks into the bakery. They don't have a seating area, so take-out only. You can order food from the bakery and sit in the restaurant (Kouji Cafe plus One) next door, but you must order one drink per person. We did this and it was wonderful.
