Halal Friendly Restaurants in Tokyo
One of the exciting parts of visiting Japan is eating Japanese food. Even people have different religious background, I want travelers to experience our delicious Japanese food culture. Here, Awesome Tokyo wants to introduce some Halal Friendly Japanese food restaurants.
Sumiyakiya
Sumiyakiya is a restaurant opened in Roppongi, serving Yakiniku, Japanese style BBQ. I really recommend to eat Yakiniku in Japan if they love meats. They serve many different parts and kinds of meat. Moreover, there are salads, noodles, fried-rice, desserts and more on their menu. This restaurant is guaranteed halal, from meat source to food serving.
Kusumoto
Kusumoto is a restaurant which is certificated as a “Muslim Friendly” by Nippon Asia Halal Association. This is an authentic gorgeous Japanese restaurant serving Japanese cuisine in Nishi-Azabu. They offer private rooms with a mat for salat upon customer’s requests. They have beautiful lunch box to deliver as well.
Minokichi
Minokichi was originally founded in 1716 in Kyoto and has been building a history of Kyoto cuisine. The branch of this historical restaurant is in TOBU(one of the biggest shopping building in Tokyo) ,and now serving Muslim friendly Kaiseki-Ryori. Kaiseki-Ryori is traditional multi-course Japanse dinner, served by individual Japanese style trays with beautiful appearances.
Halal Food Online Shops
As many Muslims live in Japan these days, there are some online Halal food store. These are just a few examples.
PADMA HALAL FOOD
SONALI HALAL FOOD
NASCO HALAL FOOD
Nasco Halal Food Japan ハラル フード ショップジャパン, Asian and African Muslim food online shop ハラール食品. No credit card required. - Nasco Halal Food Japan
These are useful and helpful as they deliver to your house. However it may be difficult to buy from these stores for travelers since they do not have residential address in Japan.
Where to Buy Halal Foods
Many Muslim travelers have difficult experiences to find the ways to have Halal foods during their stay in Tokyo. As I introduced in the beginning of this article, there are “Halal friendly” restaurants in Tokyo. However, it may be difficult to eat all meals out there during their trips. It will cost too much and will be closed in mornings and late night. What do they do? The best way is buying Halal foods and cooking by themselves at their accommodation.
