Uzuki

Located in an industrial corner of Greenpoint, Brooklyn, Uzuki is a unique Japanese dining destination founded by Chef Shuichi Kotani. The restaurant serves as a sanctuary for soba enthusiasts, focusing on the artistry of 100% buckwheat noodles. The space itself is a sprawling, light-filled warehouse that reflects the chef's commitment to craftsmanship, featuring ceramic bowls and plates handmade by the chef. The atmosphere is tranquil and sophisticated, making it an ideal spot for those seeking an authentic and elevated culinary experience.

The menu is a celebration of buckwheat, offering a variety of hot and cold soba preparations, handmade tofu, and other traditional Japanese dishes. Because the restaurant is entirely dedicated to gluten-free preparation, diners can enjoy the full menu—including noodles, appetizers, and drinks—without concern for cross-contamination. Whether you are visiting for the signature duck soba or the innovative seasonal offerings, Uzuki provides a rare opportunity for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities to dine with complete peace of mind in a high-end, Michelin-recognized setting.
