Assalamualaikum. We arrive in Tokyo today via train from Sapporo.
Is there any halal shops that you would like to recommend ?
After reading your article on halal is not actually halal, we really have to think hard about eating in a non-Muslim country.
Thank you
Walikum Assalam, I am sorry for the delay in getting back to you. The following restaurant is 100% halal.They serve Indian/Pakistani food.

Another halal restaurant offering similar food in Akihabara area. But they offer wine as well which is unfortune. But other than that, their food offerings are halal.
The following is an old link. But this japanese halal ramen is also halal. But am not sure whether they also offer wine. Other than that they are halal.
