Tokyo is one of the most popular and beautiful destinations of the world, with its rich cultural and historical heritages, its beautiful landscapes, and its food, of course! Unfortunately, Muslim travelers struggle a lot when it comes to tasting Japanese cuisine, but luckily there are more halal restaurants in Tokyo than you think. Sometimes you just have to keep your eyes open, and you’ll find halal signs outside of restaurants, but since this is very time-consuming, we already did some research and found halal restaurants across the city, ensuring a delicious experience for all visitors!
Please note that the information provided are reliable, but still, it is better to check the halal status of the menus yourself!
1. Asakusa Sushiken
Being the first and only halal sushi restaurant in Tokyo, Asakusa Sushiken offers traditional sushi and sashimi made with fresh ingredients while using halal vinegar and halal soy sauce. This restaurant is located in the famous Asakusa area, perfect for visitors who want to enjoy both the renowned Sensoji Temple and authentic sushi!

2. Gyumon Halal Wagyu
In 2007, Japan’s first halal Wagyu yakiniku restaurant, Gyumon Shibuya, opened its doors. Now, you can find five locations across Tokyo, featuring three ramen restaurants, one hot pot and one yakiniku spot where you can savor premium halal Wagyu, either grilled or served in ramen! With each dish crafted with quality for authenticity, these restaurants bring halal Japanese flavors to the heart of Tokyo; check their website to find their locations near you.
3. Halal Ramen Toribushi
This restaurant offers both tsukemen and ramen! While the noodles in ramen are served in a hot, flavorful broth, the noodles for tsukemen are served separately from the broth, often chilled or at room temperature. Toribushi’s specialty is their chicken broth, so make sure to visit this restaurant for ramen or tsukemen with a flavorful and delicious chicken broth. Plus, if you are a fan of spicy food, try their spicy ramen, but be careful it really is spicy!
