Halal Ramen Honolu is Japan’s biggest chain store of 100% halal Muslim-friendly ramen, known for its pork-less dishes and no alcohol policy.
It’s ramen, but not quite as you know it! While traditional Japanese ramen is typically abundant in pork ingredients from the slices of roast chashu to the pork bone broth, Halal Ramen Honolu redefines ramen as we know it!
For Muslim people in Japan, it’s a breath of relief in a country that is dominated by pork and other non-halal ingredients which are not permissible for consumption for those of the Islamic faith.
While this has never stopped Muslims from visiting and enjoying Japan as there are plenty of vegetarian and seafood options here, stores like Halal Ramen Honolu allows more people to enjoy Japanese cuisine and get their meat fix while staying true to their faith!
Delicious Halal Gyoza
Gyoza, like ramen, is one of those Japanese dishes that is typically made with pork as its main filling ingredient.
Halal Ramen Honolu combats this notion with a special minced chicken and vegetable gyoza which is made with 100% halal ingredients and cooking methods.
Many ramen enthusiasts swear by the classic gyoza and ramen combination as a must-try, and Halal Ramen Honolu makes it possible for Muslims to experience it too!
Amazing Gyukatsu!
A nice touch from this delicious ramen restaurant was the amazing gyukatsu or “beef cutlet” dishes made with 100% halal Wagyu beef!
It was a little pricey, but so delicious and worth trying at least once, especially if it’s your first trip to Japan!
Dip it in the sauce and enjoy the savory flavor with the crunch of the fried batter and the tender succulence of Japan’s iconic Wagyu beef.
Prayer Room
Of course, it’s not a complete Muslim-friendly joint without a prayer room, after all, Muslims pray five times a day.
A prayer mat, some prayer clothes, and a wash basin for ritualistic washing made for the perfect compact prayer room.
During the holy month of Ramadan this would be particularly handy for those wishing to pray before breaking their fast with delicious halal ramen!
A Good Time For All!
Whether you’re a Muslim or non-Muslim, Halal Ramen Honolu welcomes all customers! Their variety of beef and chicken ramen with non-pork spicy broths are a winning combination that can satisfy people of all backgrounds. So the next time you’re craving ramen in Japan, why not go down the pork-less route and grab a bowl of tasty beef ramen? I’m sure you’ll love it!
