I am currently working as an editor. However, I experienced working as a cook in restrunts, hospitals, and catering industry. Looking back now, I was connected to the Idea of Hala, since then.
At one point, few decades ago, I worked in a cafeteria at an auction site. More than 60% of the visitors to the venue were foreigners, including many Muslims (There were mosque in the venue as well). I remember many people asked me about the food we serve, the types of meat and whether they are Hala qualified.
At a certain time, the cafeteria becomes lively like a festival. Because the Indian restaurant next door to the venue served food for free. Indian dish, such as biryani, curry and sweet drinks were served to the visitors. Over 100 foreigners dressed in red turbans, garabayas and folk costumes gathered in the cafeteria, and everyone had a great time surrounding the same table. Now I learned about Muslim culture, it was a fast-starting Iftar.
Also, I remember that many participants were only eating curry from the Indian restrunt, eventhough there were choices of other food. As I study about Halal, I learned that they did not chose to eat curry, but they did not have a choise. I personally think that they wanted to try some of the Japanese food, if they had a chose. I still regret that moment, when I could not do anything because of the lack of information. “Inconvenience” of food is quite different based on their cultural background, and therefore, I understand now, that it is crucial to create an environment where all people can enjoy delicious meal, regardless of their backgrounds.
In Japan, Halal food is still a minority. Many people from Muslim background visit Japan, but they fell enconvininet about it. Japan Halal Business Association advocates in the halal business: HAVO (Halal, Organic, Vegetarian, Allergy).
The idea is to aim to create products and services that many people can eat and use, regardless of their religion and various backgrounds.
Seeking for delicious, safe and secure meal is commonly shared through the nations. The time demand us to find new ways of living that transcend borders and religions. We hope that Halal will help eliminate food inconvenience and contribute to the harmony of the world where you can respect, coexist, and co-prosper with a more liberal idea to eating and enjoying food.
“Chicken Rendang” Halal menu is now available @Soup Stock Tokyo
“Chicken Rendang” is processed in a halal certified factory. It is made under strict control. The store kitchen is not a halal-only kitchen, but cooking utensils such as ladles and pots are halal-certified. And although it is usually served in pottery tableware, it can be changed to a disposable container by issuing a card that says “For Muslims.”
A red band with the word halal is wrapped around the disposable container, and when you read the QR code on the back, you can check the halal policy.
There are various other ideas so that Muslims can eat with peace of mind. If you read the QR code that comes with this tray, you can read the story of how halal soup is made (The story is written in English).
Actually, this menu called “Chicken Rendang” is a soup born from the regret of one employee who thought of his colleagues. Soup Stock Tokyo’s motto is “Soup for all!.” Which comes from an idea that all soups should be enjoyed by everyone regardless of nationality, gender, age, or religion. This ideology is also reflected in the harmonious and gentle seasoning. Soup Stock Tokyo-style soups and curries inspired by dishes from around the world all have a nostalgic taste that suits the tastes of Japanese people. So, for the all menu, you can enjoy somewhat Japanese-style soups. In addition, the QR code is written on the menu, so you can check the ingredients and allergies. Please come and enjoy the attitude of maximizing the consideration that Soup Stock Tokyo can do.
The vegetarian menu does not use any “animal ingredients”, “honey”, or “sugar”.
The concept of “Soup for all!”, which Soup Stock Tokyo has always cherished since its inception, includes the meaning of providing soup that everyone can eat. As the name suggests, they are promoting the development of menus for each person from 0 to 100 years old, regardless of age or nationality. The menus handled by each store are different, but they always support a wide range of lifestyles such as baby food, long-term care food, allergies, religious support such as halal, and vegetarian food. The standard for vegetarian menus is vegan, which does not use “animal ingredients,” “honey,” or “sugar.”
This is a chili bean soup with corn and paprika. It has a slightly spicy tomato-based taste with plenty of vegetables, beans, and two types of jalapeno. It contains jalapeno, but I did not feel the spiciness too much. The root kelp soup stock brings out the flavor of the vegetables and is very easy to eat. Soup Stock Tokyo is one of the few soup specialty stores in Japan that thoroughly discloses information about each menu. It is no exaggeration to say that it is at the forefront of food diversity in Japan, which combines deliciousness, ease of use, ease of eating, and food safety. There are also to-go(take-out) menus, regular purchases, and online shops, so please use them according to the needs and scenes.
