EPCOT

Kabuki Café, located in the Japan Pavilion at EPCOT in Disney World, is a popular spot known for its refreshing and unique treats. Here’s a detailed review, including the most popular menu items and options for guests with food allergies:

Most Popular Menu Items

1. Shaved Ice (Kakigori): This is the standout item at Kabuki Café. Available in various flavors like Strawberry, Melon, Cherry, and Rainbow, it is a refreshing treat, especially in the Florida heat.
2. Japanese Soft Serve: This includes flavors like Green Tea and Vanilla. It’s a creamy and delightful dessert option.
3. Sushi: Pre-packaged sushi rolls are available, including California Rolls and Spicy Tuna Rolls.
4. Edamame: A healthy and simple snack option, these steamed soybeans are lightly salted and served in the pod.
5. Miso Soup: A traditional Japanese soup that is both comforting and flavorful.

Options for Guests with Food Allergies

Kabuki Café is attentive to guests with food allergies, but it’s always important to speak with a cast member or chef to confirm ingredients and preparation methods. Here are some potential options and considerations:

1. Shaved Ice (Kakigori): Generally safe for those with common food allergies, as it’s primarily flavored ice. However, be cautious with any added toppings or syrups, as they could contain allergens.
2. Japanese Soft Serve: Guests with dairy allergies should avoid this item. Those with other allergies should check the ingredient list with a cast member.
3. Edamame: Typically safe for most allergies, including dairy, egg, and nut allergies. However, those with soy allergies should avoid it.
4. Sushi: Pre-packaged sushi might contain allergens like soy (in the form of soy sauce), fish, shellfish, and sometimes wheat (in imitation crab). Gluten-free soy sauce may be available upon request.
5. Miso Soup: Contains soy and sometimes fish products (dashi), so it’s not suitable for guests with soy or fish allergies.

Kabuki Café offers a delightful range of Japanese snacks and treats, making it a great stop for a quick refreshment while exploring EPCOT. Just ensure to double-check all ingredients and preparation methods if you have any food allergies.
