Halal Food in Ginza (2026): Three Certified Restaurants, From a ¥1,200 Tendon to Kobe Beef

TL;DR: Six halal venues in Ginza in our data and three of them name a certifier, which makes Ginza the densest certified cluster of any district we cover. The cheapest is a ¥1,200 walk-in tempura bowl in a shopping mall. The most expensive is a ¥20,000 Kobe beef course. Two have prayer rooms, two serve alcohol and are tiered accordingly, and two more certified options are a few minutes away in Marunouchi and Nihonbashi.

Ginza is not where most halal guides send you, and that is a mistake. The district that Tokyo built for department stores and Michelin stars has quietly become the place where halal certification is most likely to be real, because the venues here are selling to Gulf and Southeast Asian visitors who ask for the certificate and expect an answer.

The pages that rank for this query list the restaurants and stop there. Tripadvisor ranks by review score, Tablecheck runs a booking landing page, Halal Food in Japan has a solid Ginza-Yurakucho-Tsukiji directory, and Food Diversity covered the Tendon Itsuki opening well. None of them tells you which body signed which certificate, or which of these venues has a bar.

The three certified restaurants in Ginza#

| Restaurant | What it serves | Certifier | Price | Prayer room | |---|---|---|---|---| | Tendon Ginza Itsuki | Halal tempura rice bowl | Japan Halal Foundation | ¥1,200–2,200 | Not listed | | Shinjuku-tei Ginza | A5 wagyu ramen | Japan Muslim Access (NAHA) | ¥1,500–6,000 | Yes | | Ginza The Emperor | Halal Kobe beef course | Japan Halal Foundation | ¥15,000–20,000 | Not listed |

Tendon Itsuki is the one to know. Halal tempura over rice, in the basement of Tokyu Plaza Ginza, two minutes from the station, ¥1,200 to ¥2,200, open 11:00 to 22:30 daily, no pork and no alcohol. It is walk-in only, which is a feature at 15:00 and a problem at 12:30. Tempura is one of the harder Japanese dishes to make halal because of the frying oil and the dipping-sauce base, which is what makes a certified tendon shop worth a detour rather than just a lunch.

Shinjuku-tei Ginza opened in March 2025 with a prayer room on site and a multilingual menu, and it is materially cheaper than the same chain's Shibuya and Shinjuku flagships for a comparable bowl. It can close early when it sells out. The full chain comparison is in halal ramen in Tokyo.

Ginza The Emperor is billed as the world's first full-course halal Kobe beef restaurant. Reservation essential, ¥15,000 to ¥20,000, dinner only on weekdays. If you are in Tokyo for one high-ticket halal meal, this and the certified yakiniku houses are the shortlist, and the comparison is in best halal wagyu and yakiniku in Tokyo.

Verified, and the two with a bar#

| Venue | What it serves | Tier | Price | Note | |---|---|---|---|---| | Godaime Wagyu Tokyo | Halal wagyu steak and burgers | Verified | ¥3,000–4,000 | Alcohol-free, prayer room on site, open to 23:00 | | Satsuma | Halal wagyu yakiniku | Verified | ¥6,000–8,000 | Supervised by the Halal Japan Association, not formally certified. Alcohol served | | Bangera's Kitchen | South Indian, Mangalorean | Halal options | ¥1,000–6,000 | Michelin Bib Gourmand, halal-only food with dedicated utensils, full bar |

Godaime Wagyu Tokyo is the most useful entry on this page for most travellers. A beef dynasty trading since 1962, halal wagyu steak and gourmet burgers at ¥3,000 to ¥4,000, no alcohol on the premises, a prayer room on site, three minutes from Higashi-Ginza and four from Tsukiji Market. It does not name a certifier, so we hold it at the verified tier rather than calling it certified.

Satsuma is a good illustration of why that tier exists. Its halal wagyu yakiniku is supervised by the Halal Japan Association, which is real oversight, but supervision is not certification and the venue serves alcohol. Both facts go on the listing; neither gets rounded up. The distinction is set out in halal-certified vs Muslim-friendly.

Two more, a few minutes out#

Ginza's practical halal radius is bigger than Ginza.

• Mazulu Halal Beef Noodle, certified by the Nippon Asia Halal Association, is directly connected to Tokyo Station underground, one stop on the Marunouchi line. Lanzhou-style hand-pulled halal beef noodle from ¥1,000, nine noodle thicknesses. It is arguably the single most convenient certified halal meal in central Tokyo, and it anchors our Tokyo Station guide.
• Luxe Burgers Ningyocho, certified by the Japan Halal Foundation, does halal wagyu, lamb and beef burgers by a French-trained chef, with no pork or alcohol. Six minutes from Ningyocho.

Names that appear elsewhere but not in our directory#

Other Ginza halal lists include Soleil at Hibiya OKUROJI, Khan Kebab Biryani, Saray Ginza and 5W Wagyu in Tsukiji. None of those is currently a listing in our directory, which means we have not liveness-checked them or assigned a tier, and we would rather say that than pad this page to nine entries. Their absence here is a statement about our verification queue, not about the restaurants.

That is the difference between this page and a longer one. A short verified list beats a padded one, and when a venue closes it goes into the delisting changelog rather than quietly disappearing.

A Ginza plan for one day#

1. Lunch at Tendon Itsuki, either before 12:00 or after 14:00, because the queue is real and there are no reservations.
2. Ginza Six and the department-store basements in the afternoon. Confirm ingredients before buying prepared food; the seasoning questions are in is mirin halal.
3. Pray at Shinjuku-tei or Godaime if you are eating at either, because Ginza has no mosque of its own. The city-wide map is in prayer rooms and mosques in Tokyo.
4. Dinner by budget. Godaime at ¥3,000 to ¥4,000, Shinjuku-tei for certified wagyu ramen, Ginza The Emperor if this is the meal of the trip, booked in advance.
5. Or walk to Tokyo Station and have certified Lanzhou beef noodle for ¥1,000 instead. Nothing about Ginza obliges you to spend Ginza money.

How we checked this#

Every venue here is a listing in our directory with a last-verified date, an evidence link and an honest verification method. A certifier is named only where a certifying body appears in the evidence, never inferred from a logo, a badge or a third-party roundup, and venues serving alcohol are capped into a lower tier regardless of what the kitchen does. The method is on how we verify. For other districts, see halal food in Asakusa and halal food in Shibuya and Harajuku.
