Our story

Three generations of noodles, now for everyone

Kobayashi Noodle has been making noodles in Gifu, Japan since 1947. Three generations of fresh udon, soba and ramen, which is a long time to get good at one thing. Gluten Free Meister is what happened when that family turned all of it toward the people who had been quietly shut out. The noodles are 100 percent Japanese rice, non-GMO, made in a dedicated gluten-free factory, and they behave the way ramen is supposed to behave: springy, a little chewy, still holding their shape at the bottom of the bowl instead of dissolving into the broth. The soup bases run Tonkotsu, Miso, Shoyu, Curry and a Chick-N, and the company has made all of them vegan, which is not a sentence anyone expected to write about tonkotsu.

Our take
“We are absolutely obsessed with the authentic texture and rich flavors of Gluten Free Meister's ramen! It’s so hard to find a gluten-free noodle that holds up perfectly in broth, but these deliver that true, comforting ramen experience we’ve all been missing.”

Gluten Free Meister FAQ

Straight answers to what our community asks most.

Are your noodles gluten-free?
Yes, our noodles are 100% rice-based and made using non-GMO Japanese rice. They are manufactured in an ISO 9001-certified Gluten Free factory in Japan.

Are your products vegan or vegetarian?
Yes! All of our products are now vegan, including our Tonkotsu, Miso, and Shoyu ramen flavors.

Do your products contain any of the top allergens?
Our instant rice noodles are free of the top 8 allergens, and our liquid soup bases are free of the top 6 allergens (free of egg, dairy, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, shell fish). Please check individual product ingredient lists for specifics, as some soup bases contain soy, corn, or yeast.

How do I prepare the ramen?
For our instant ramen, simply boil the noodles, rip open the liquid flavoring packet, dump it into the ramen cooking water, stir, and enjoy. If you prefer a thinner broth, you can boil and strain the noodles, then add them to a bowl with hot water and the soup base.
