Japan has no government halal standard. Certification comes from several private and religious bodies, each with its own rules, and some restaurants are certified while others are Muslim-run and self-declared. Neither label is shown on this map, so ask to see the certificate, or ask who owns the kitchen, if it matters to you. Outside dedicated places, the usual hidden issues are pork in ramen broths and gyoza, and alcohol in mirin and some soy sauces, which appear in a large share of Japanese cooking.
For halal wagyu, Sumiyakiya Nishiazabu Halal Restaurant. For South Asian food, Siddique Palace or another Siddique branch. For Chinese Muslim dishes, 東京ムスリム飯店 in Sumida.
Some are certified by one of Japan's private halal bodies and some are self-declared by Muslim owners; this list does not separate the two. Ask the restaurant to show its certificate if certification matters to you.
