Restautrant owner Mr. Saifullah
He used to be a teacher and he started thinking that he would want to live in Japan when he came here to study. He values halal practice for Muslims, so he wanted to be faithful to the Muslim philosophy at work, he agreed to get certification for Halal. Although lots of other restaurants have been giving up to update the halal certification under the situation of Covid-19, he wants to ensure constantly that Ayam-YA respects halal practice and welcome tourists again. Halal certification for the restaurant is categorized into different levels with stars by a group called Japan Halal Foundation.
Halal certificate
Ayam-Ya with 3 stars, is recognized with the highest level of certification “all halal”, that means all the menus are halal and there is no alcohol provided. Currently in 2021, there has been no tourists and Muslim customers due to Covid-19, but he says “I am so grateful that we now have lots of Japanese customers enjoying our dishes who live and work in this area.”
Mr. Saifullah has been living in Japan for 7 years and speaks fluent Japanese. He also can speak his mother tongue of Sri Lankan, Tamil, English and also Arabic as Muslims learn Arabic from early age to be able to read Koran.
He is a devoted Muslim and created space for praying at the restaurant. There was a mosque in front of the previous restaurant, so there was no space for praying inside the restaurant, but after relocating to the current restaurant he decided to make space as being a little far from mosque now.
Prayer Room
There is a faucet attached at a lower position which is easily accessible for the cleaning ritual before praying. Mr. Saifullah says ‘I want to create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere for Muslims in this neighborhood, please feel free to drop in even just for praying.” This hospitality makes Ayam-YA very special.
