A 4-storey building Akiba specialty “Moses’s kebab” near to Akihabara station
“Moses’ Kebab” is a Doner Kebab specialty store that represents Akihabara.
This is a 4-story building, which is rare for a kebab shop, with eat-in spaces on the 1st to 3rd floors and a kitchen on the 4th floor.
Moses’s Kebab Akihabara
Eat-in Spot
The name of the shop, “Moses,” is the name of the Pakistani owner.
And the friendly Muslim staffs are fluent in Japanese.
You can choose from three types of meat, beef, chicken, and a mixture of both. The staff uses a long knife to scrape off the meat that roams while grilling and fill the pita bread with plenty of meat.

Also, the pita bread is special in this store. They use original pita bread from traditional recipe (not a pita-like-bread you often see in stores in Japan). The outside is crispy and the inside is soft.
Soft drinks such as tea and cola can be purchased for an additional 100 yen. They also sell beer and non-alcohol beer, but all food is halal.
Doner Kebab Mix ¥550
Previously, they acquired halal certification for the store, but it seems that they are considering whether to renew the certificate this term.
The amazing origin of the unique names of source “Yamazaki” and “Takizawa” that matches the spiciness and make kebab delicious
“Moses’s Kebab” is known for its large volume of kebabs with plenty of meat and juicy shredded cabbage.
And the source is characteristic!
The rich sauce with cumin, chili powder and other spices matches the meat and is very delicious.
You can choose your favorite sauce from 5 levels of spiciness, from original spicy sauce to medium spicy “Takizawa special” and spicy “Yamazaki special.”

(the name of the sauce is all Japanese names)
According to the staff, every sauce is named from real people, Kobayashi is the name of regular customers, Takizawa is the wife of the president, Yamazaki is the landlord.
It seems that each persons’ severity is proportional with actual spiciness. I haven’t tried the most spicy Yamazaki this time, but the landlord seems to be the toughest person because the rent is high in the prime area of Akihabara.
It is funny that it is combined with realistic matter, but the staff here is humorous and interesting.
There is another store in Akihabara, a franchise chain called “Moses’s Kebab AKIBA STYLE”, but this main store seems to be cheaper.
Nice thing about kebabs is that you can easily eat quickly when you are hungry.
The large eat-in space makes it convenient for a break after shopping. Please try the cheap and delicious Akiba specialty kebab.

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.
