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.
“Akiba Terrace,” Kebab store in the back alley of Akihabara Electric Town(Akihabara denki-gai)
Star Kebab is a long-established kebab shop with 3 branch stores in Akihabara. The first store is “Star Kebab take away (to-go) Akihabara Main Store,” the second store is “Star Kebab Akiba Terrace,” and the third store is “Star Kebab Hot Sands.”

The second store, Starkebab Akiba Terrace, is located in the alley of the electric town(so-called denki-gai).
There are eat-in seats at the Akiba Terrace store. Sometimes a cheerful clerk comes in and serves Turkish tea or soup.
The sheep and chicken menus are Halal. Not all menus are Halal, but they do not serve food that contains pork and no alcohol menu available.
For the sake of clarity, “HALAL” is marked on the Halal menu.
Köfte Sandwiches with Turkish beef with minced beef are also Halal. Thick French bread crispy on an iron plate, two Köfte, and lettuce and tomato.
You can choose pita bread, but if you come here it is recommended to eat kebab in French bread, since the mainstream Turkish kebab sandwich uses French bread. There are also mackerel sandwiches, a famous and popular menu in Turkey.
There are various kinds of sauces, such as sweet and dry, as well as curry flavors called Baharat and Iskender.
Iskender is a combination of two sauces; tomato sauce and garlic yogurt sauce.
