Opened in December 2019, make your way to Hayabusa Halal Market in Akihabara, Tokyo to find a variety of halal-certified meat and ingredients to cook up something delicious during your holiday. Only a 1-minute walk from Iwamotocho station, you'll be pleased to find new and familiar products stocked up in the shelves.
Established by G-BIZ East Co. Ltd, the company is dedicated to the development, wholesale and export of halal-certified foods including beverages and processed products in Tokyo - and part of this are done through Hayabusa Halal Market.
Bringing convenience to the Muslim community and travellers in Japan, this humble market primarily sells and exports halal-certified products to Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates. Don't be surprised to stumble upon products like halal-certified Japanese curry, Indomie and Mi Sedaap instant noodles, Adabi lamb curry paste, Sefri premium dates, and more in the shelves.
What's great about Hayabusa Halal Market is the availability of halal-certified ingredients and seasonings such as halal Japanese soy sauce, instant tom yam paste, instant rice vermicelli, and chilli flakes. Instead of bringing these halal ready-to-eat meals to your trip, you can free up space in your luggage for delicious Muslim-friendly snacks from Japan instead.
Besides that, Hayabusa Halal Market sells cakes, biscuits and snacks if you need light munchies while conquering Japan with kids in tow. As of Jan 2020, the market also offers special discount every 10th, 20th and 29th of the month, so don't miss a chance to see what's good or get fresh cream daifuku for desserts (this treat is also available at Rogers Mart in Asakusa)!
After checking off every delicious eatery from our complete guide to halal authentic Japanese food in Tokyo, get a taste of home by shopping for ingredients at Hayabusa Halal Market and prepare a lovely meal. If you're looking for a halal supermarket in Chiba, Hayabusa Halal Market also has another branch at Chiba Islamic Cultural Centre. That being said, there's no better time to plan a trip to Tokyo!
