Tempura Asakusa SAKURA Has Obtained Halal Certification

All Meals at Tempura Asakusa SAKURA, Including Tempura, Are Halal (Muslim-Friendly) and Gluten-Free.

At Tempura Asakusa SAKURA, we aim to share the traditional Japanese cuisine of tempura with a wide audience.

To ensure that everyone can enjoy our food, we have made all of our meals halal (Muslim-friendly) and gluten-free.

To comply with halal (Muslim-friendly) requirements, we adhere to strict standards in everything from selecting ingredients to cooking methods.

Not only do we avoid using pork and alcohol, but we also strictly follow halal guidelines for all the ingredients and seasonings we use.

Additionally, we have completely eliminated regular wheat flour in favor of alternative ingredients like rice flour to ensure our dishes are gluten-free.

This allows us to provide meals that are safe and enjoyable for customers with allergies or those who are health-conscious.

In Japan, Some Restaurants Are Halal Certified, and Some Are Not

In Japan, the number of restaurants obtaining halal certification is gradually increasing, but they are still relatively few in number.

While some establishments claim to be halal (Muslim-friendly), not all have obtained official certification.

Especially in the realm of Japanese cuisine, very few restaurants have received halal certification.

Among them, Tempura Asakusa SAKURA has officially obtained certification from the Japan Halal Foundation, a General Incorporated Association.

To obtain this certification, we passed a rigorous document review and an on-site inspection of our restaurant.

We also employ Muslim staff members who work closely with us to create an environment where our customers can enjoy their meals with peace of mind.

Notably, Tina, a devout Muslim staff member, ensures that we maintain halal standards daily.

By obtaining certification from the Japan Halal Foundation, we can provide an even greater sense of security to our customers.

Approximately 30% of Tempura Asakusa SAKURA’s Customers Are Halal (Muslim)

Tempura Asakusa SAKURA attracts customers from all over the world. Of these, approximately 30% are Muslims who seek halal-compliant meals. The remaining 50% are non-Muslim travelers, and 20% are Japanese customers.

In Japan, while the number of halal (Muslim-friendly) restaurants is increasing, there are still cases where the taste is compromised.

As a result, these establishments tend to cater exclusively to Muslim customers. However, at Tempura Asakusa SAKURA, we have successfully maintained the taste without sacrificing quality while offering halal (Muslim-friendly) and gluten-free meals.

This is evidenced by the high ratings we receive from both Muslim and non-Muslim customers on Google Maps.

For Gastronomy Tourism in Japan, Visit Tempura Asakusa SAKURA

When enjoying gastronomy tourism (travel centered around food) in Japan, finding halal (Muslim-friendly) restaurants can be challenging.

This is especially true for Japanese cuisine, where halal-compliant establishments are extremely limited.

Many halal-friendly restaurants offer non-Japanese cuisine like curry and kebabs, and while halal ramen shops have been increasing recently, many of them do not attract Japanese customers.

However, at Tempura Asakusa SAKURA, we offer tempura—a quintessential Japanese dish—in a way that anyone can enjoy with confidence.

If you’re visiting Japan, we want you to experience authentic Japanese food that is delicious to everyone, regardless of nationality.

Our tempura is often praised by Muslim customers, who say, “It was truly delicious,” and we take pride in the quality of our dishes.

Our Commitment at Tempura Asakusa SAKURA

We use only the freshest seasonal ingredients, carefully selected for their quality, and adjust our cooking methods to match the weather and humidity of the day, ensuring that every dish is served in its best possible condition.

We also take special care in choosing the oil we use. We use a light, easily digestible oil that does not overpower the flavor of the ingredients.

Moreover, thanks to our special fryer and the skillful techniques of our chefs, we have reduced the calorie content of our tempura by approximately 50%, creating a healthier dish. This allows us to achieve a crispy texture and a rich flavor profile.

At Tempura Asakusa SAKURA, our tempura is not just a meal; it is a work of art.

We pay attention to every detail in the cooking process, striving to serve our customers the best experience possible.
