Japan is known for it’s traditional, healthy (and raw) and tasty food. From sushi to ramen it can be said with certainty that the Japanese have established their own type of cuisine. But that doesn’t mean that they’re not included. Surprisingly, there is also an authentic Japanese halal kitchen. This is aimed at Muslims and other halal eaters. With the increasing number of tourists from around the world, it is good that they also offer opportunities for halal eaters. Below is the last of Halal restaurants in Tokyo:
1. Gyumon
A popular halal restaurant in Tokyo that is known to attract Muslims’ attention is Gyumon in Shibuya. High quality halal food awaits you here, as all dishes are prepared by a Muslim cook on a grill that is only used for halal cooking. All of their meat is also Halal certified.

They also have an entire kitchen just for halal dishes and some Muslim cooks who cook the food. To try some of their food, you need to book an appointment or order online through their website. We strongly recommend you try the halal bento to enjoy a fun and filling lunch.
3. Annam Indian Restaurant

They were put together by a group of Indian chefs, but their dishes show the variety of tastes. The Annam Indian Restaurant is located in the heart of Tokyo, just a minute from Ginza train station, making it attractive and easily accessible.
