Ginza is the most elegant and luxurious area of Japan. The price of the land is the highest, so that all the famous brands, shops and restaurants are here. If you are looking for a luxurious experience or item, then you definitely have to make your way to this place.
Let’s see what is available for Muslims around this area today.
Which Halal restaurants are available in this area?
There are some high-end halal restaurants in Ginza.
THE GRAND GINZA
What is GINZA SIX? It is relatively a new shopping complex. There are world’s leading brands as well as restaurants. On the 13th floor, there is a Halal-certified restaurant called THE GRAND GINZA.

It is a restaurant that serves authentic French cuisine. Their meal is served as a course.
Price for lunch is from 4,000 yen, dinner from 9,000 yen. Considering the location and the fact that the restaurant is Halal-certified, the price can be more reasonable than you would have expected.

Ginza Tendon Itsuki
Tendon is a rice bowl with Tempura on top. They put sauce with alcoholic seasoning, so Tendon is not always complete Halal meal. Tendon Itsuki is quite ready to accept Muslim customers, because they do not use any alcoholic seasoning in their sauce.
Size of the Tendon is massive, but what is great is that they are quite reasonable, too! The average price for lunch and dinner is around 1,500 yen.
This is a cafe dining, which is trying to pursue food diversity to serve and satisfy all the people from around the world, regardless of their dietary requests.
Although the food selection is not traditional Japanese, everyone including Muslims can enjoy their food without being worried so that the cafe is quite popular.

Price for lunch is about 1,500 yen, dinner for 2,000 yen. The restaurant is located just between Hibiya and Ginza, at the very convenient place. You will pass by when you transfer the Metro line, so don’t miss out!
On the 1st floor of GINZA SIX, there is a convenience store called Natural Lawson. What surprises us is that they have a small space for Halal souvenirs, which we can never find in other Lawson shops.

18 is Natural Lawson, just right next to Tourist Service Center.
As we have asked in September 2023, there are only few selections available; Chocolate and Yokan Japanese traditional sweets. Both of them are Halal-certified.
Their selection is very limited, but it is great that there is a Halal-certified item that you can check with your own eyes. Before Pandemic, there were more Halal items available, so we hope there will be more selections available soon.
