You can also check out my vegetarian and vegan Tokyo map for more options and my post (still on this blog) for tips on how to make sure foods don’t contain hidden animal products.
Since I created this map, many more resources have been made available to the Muslim community in Japan. Below is a quick list, but I’m sure there are better resources on TikTok and the like now.
Apps
Halal Gourmet Japan [English] iPhone | Android
1000+ Halal restaurants in Japan for travellers from Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Middle East. While many Japanese may be meat-free because they are seafood based, only a handful of places serve Halal meat.
Halal Navi [English] iPhone | Android
Halal Navi is created by the same group that does NaviTime, one of Japan’s most locally popular transit apps. The app also has “Halal tips”.
Happy Cow [English] iPhone | Android
Mostly Japanese cafe style or Western-inspired food, but safe.
