The Sansglu take

The place

Fully gluten-free Japanese spot built around onigiri, the stuffed rice balls that become your entry point to a whole menu you don't usually get to eat. Counter and bar seating, minimal but focused.

The gluten-free setup

Runs gluten-free end to end. Dedicated fryer for fried items, dedicated kitchen, gluten-free ingredients across the board. No wheat flour on the premises.

What to order

Onigiri is the whole idea: hand-formed rice triangles, naturally gluten-free, plus a cabbage salad and Japanese small plates. Order a few and a drink.

The move

The stall runs entirely gluten-free, so nothing on its own menu will cross-contaminate. It sits inside Melrose Market, a shared food hall where other vendors do use wheat, but Sankaku's counter is dedicated. A tidy, safe stop on Capitol Hill.
