Halal sushi and Japanese food in Singapore is served at a growing number of MUIS-certified and Muslim-owned restaurants — sushi, ramen, donburi and teppanyaki without pork, alcohol-based mirin or non-halal meat. Confirm the outlet on MUIS HalalSG before dining.
The halal Japanese challenge
Authentic Japanese cooking often uses mirin, sake and non-halal meat, so certification matters more than usual. Halal Japanese restaurants substitute these with halal alternatives — which is why a MUIS certificate is reassuring.
Dishes to look for
- Sushi & sashimi (halal-sourced)
- Ramen with chicken or beef broth
- Donburi rice bowls
- Teppanyaki & yakiniku
