01 / CHOOSE AN AREA

Start close
to your stay.

Get to know the area first.
Then open the dining records.

All areas in this guide +
  • Namba / Dotonbori (Minami — the food heart)
  • Shinsaibashi
  • Nipponbashi (Den-Den Town)
  • Umeda / Kita
  • Shinsekai

02 / CHECK THE EVIDENCE

Know the places.
Open the evidence.

Check the certifier and scope for each outlet. Japan has several certification bodies, not one central certificate.

Certification in Japan +
  • Certifiers named in the guide include JHA, NAHA, MPJA, Japan Islamic Trust and Japan Halal Foundation.
  • Check the outlet, scope and validity period. Ingredient or menu claims differ from certification of the whole premises.

Each record uses the A–U evidence model below. Checked dates are those of the original sources.

STILL WONDERING?

Answers
to help you plan.

Which areas should I start with?+

Start with Namba & Dotonbori, Shinsaibashi, Nipponbashi, Umeda & Shinsekai. Open all areas in the guide for more context. Location alone does not determine an outlet’s halal status.

What should I check when eating in Osaka?+

For ramen or okonomiyaki, ask about tare, dashi, frying oil and shared kitchens or pans. Check evidence for the branch you plan to visit.

Are all these records halal-certified?+

No. Open the grade, evidence and date for each record. A requires a verifiable official certificate; C means Muslim-owned or self-declared. D is pending verification, E is not a halal guarantee and U means not verified.
