The sacred place of kebabs like Roppongi area! “Moses Kebab” with 2 stores in Akihabara
“Moses’s Kebab” is a doner kebab specialty store located a 5-minute walk from Akihabara Station. As of June 2020, they have two stores in Akihabara. The main store is a 4-story building with a spacious eat-in space near the electric town.
And, this AKIBA STYLE store on the first floor of a house along Akihabara Junk Street is a franchise member store. There is a long-established kebab shop called “Star Kebab,” which has 3 stores in Akihabara alone, and there are many kebab shops in a narrow area.
Akihabara is called the “sacred place of kebabs,” lined up to Roppongi, and it seems that some fans visit from afar in search of delicious kebabs. Moses’ kebab is one of the popular shops.

You can choose from three types of kebab meat: beef, chicken, and a mix of both.
The cheerful Turkish staff scrapes off the chunks of meat that roam while baking with a long knife and stuffs them into pita bread. The appetizing spicy and rich sauce matches very well with the crispy cabbage and grilled meat.
The pita bread is firm and the inside is chewy, which is quite delicious.
Also, as with any kebab shop, if you visit on a time when people are lined up or the turnover rate is good at noon, you can taste freshly cut and juicy meat(because they change the turning meat to a next round). So if possible, it is recommended to visit when the shop is busy.
You can’t eat or drink in the store at Moses’ kebab on Akihabara Junk Street, so you can eat in the chair in front of the store or use to go (take out). Uber Eats is also available if you are near the store.

Customize your kebabs to your liking and enjoy the freshly made kebabs.
“Moses’s Kebab” is known for its hearty kebabs with plenty of meat and shredded cabbage. You can also add mashed potato and cheese toppings to customize it to your liking.
And the sauce is very characteristic in this store! The rich sauce with cumin, chili powder, and spices matches the meat and is very delicious. From mild yogurt sauce to spicy sauce, you can customize fresh sauce that suits your taste.
If you have too many ingredients to eat, which you definitely will because of the service spirit of the store, you can eat the meat that sticks out of the pita bread with chopsticks so that you can eat it cleanly until the end.

I currently work as an editor, but my previous job was as a chef, with many years of experience working in hospitals, restaurants, and the food service industry. Looking back, I think my connection to halal may have already been there.
Decades ago, I once worked in a cafeteria at an auction venue. Over 60% of the visitors were foreigners. Many Muslims were present, and the venue had a mosque-like prayer space. I remember being frequently asked questions about whether the meat was halal and what kind of meat it was. At certain times, the cafeteria would become as lively as a festival. The Indian restaurant next door would generously serve free biryani, curry, and sweet drinks to everyone who came. Over 100 people, including people wearing bright red turbans, galabeyas, and traditional attire, gathered in the cafeteria, all sitting around the same table and enjoying a truly enjoyable time. Looking back, it was iftar, the end of fasting, and I understand the significance of sharing, but at the time I was ignorant of halal and Islam, and didn't even consider how to respond. They only ate the curry made by the Indians in the restaurant. As I studied halal, I realized, "I wanted to eat Japanese food, but I couldn't." I regret not doing anything even though there was something I could have done.
If only it didn't contain pork! If only it didn't contain wheat or buckwheat! I could eat it... Food insecurity is different for each person.
That's why I think it's important to learn about the differences in culture, religion, and lifestyle that underlie it, and to create an environment where everyone can enjoy delicious meals in comfort.
The desire for delicious, safe, and secure food is universal. The times are calling for people to live in new ways that transcend borders and religions. I hope that halal can be a gateway to eliminating food insecurity, contributing even in some small way to a society where people can coexist and prosper with more liberal thinking, and to global harmony beyond.
