Living in Japan, sooner or later you will want halal meat, or the spices and sauces you used to cook with back home. The same goes for travellers who cook for themselves or are looking for gifts to take home.<\/p>

But searching for “halal shop” in a maps app does not always turn up a store nearby.<\/p>

This article shows two ways to find the stores listed on Halal Gourmet Japan: near where you are right now, or by prefecture. We also cover how to check products at supermarkets and convenience stores when there is no store nearby.<\/p>

What you will find on the Store page<\/h2>

Besides restaurants, Halal Gourmet Japan lists shops under the “Store” category. As of 13 October 2026, there are 48 of them across 12 prefectures.<\/p>

Alongside halal grocers, they include butchers, Japanese sweets shops, Japanese tea shops, souvenir shops, and shops selling bento and side dishes. Some are inside Haneda Airport.<\/p>

Find stores near you<\/h2>

On the Store page<\/a>, choose “Near current location” in the Location field and search. Stores are listed with the closest first. If your browser asks for your location, allow it.<\/p>

You can also see the results on a map.<\/p>

Find stores by prefecture<\/h2>

These are the prefectures with stores listed. Tokyo has the most, with four in the Hyakunincho area of Shinjuku alone.<\/p>
