Let's go to Niseko in summer where Muslims can enjoy themselves safely

In Japan, there is less awareness and support for Halal and Kosher food than for vegetarians and vegans. Especially when it comes to Kosher, there are very few restaurants in Japan that specialize in Kosher food.

On the other hand, Niseko, which attracts tourists from both within Japan and overseas in search of powder snow, is seeing an increase in Muslim customers. In this article, we will introduce Halal-friendly restaurants in the Niseko area.

1. Long-established Indian restaurant: Taj Mahal

This is a Halal restaurant that does not use any beef or pork . It is a long-established Indian restaurant that was founded in 1982, and both the owner and chef are Indian.

This popular restaurant has a wide variety of menu items, including spicy Indian curry, freshly baked hot naan, and kebabs, and is frequented by many local residents . Take-out offers a 10% discount.

There are three stores in the Niseko area:

①Taj Mahal Kutchan store
②Taj Mahal Niseko Hirafu store
③Taj Mahal Annupuri store

2. Wagyu Burger: Wagyu to Worldwide Niseko

"Wagyu to Worldwide" was established in Tokyo in 2019. Following "Burger Revolution Tokyo" in Roppongi, Kyoto, and Okinawa, the Niseko store opened in 2024. They serve "100% Halal Wagyu Beef Burgers" made with Halal-certified Hokkaido Wagyu beef .

The 100% Wagyu beef burger, supervised by a chef who trained at a three-star Michelin restaurant and served as sous chef at the French Embassy in Japan, is superb! Please enjoy the exquisite combination of the secret original sauce that brings out the umami, sweetness, and aroma of the meat, and the specially made buns, which are fluffy and made with Hokkaido wheat and domestic butter.

3. Japanese cuisine: Miracle Yukiya

Miracle Yukiya, located near JR Niseko Station, serves "Original Medicinal Curry" and "Nabeyaki (chicken) Udon & Soba" made with "Halal-certified" chicken .

Time flows slowly inside the restaurant, reminiscent of an old-fashioned Japanese house. The restaurant is proud of its dishes made with rice noodles and germinated brown rice produced in a factory on the premises. There are gluten-free and dairy-free menus, so everyone can enjoy meals together at the same table, regardless of constitution, religion, or beliefs.

You can also get takeaway halal-certified chicken and sweets made with rice flour.
