Handmade Flavors of the Silk Road
Uighur cuisine carries the food culture of the Silk Road, where East and West have long met — and in Japan you can find restaurants keeping those distinct flavors alive by hand.
In Tokyo, a restaurant describing itself as the city's only Uighur specialty restaurant serves thoroughly handmade dishes with the nostalgic taste of the Silk Road and Uighur's own flavors, aiming to build cultural exchange between Uighur, Japan and the world through food. It is registered as certified halal and Muslim-owned, with halal meat, a prayer space and vegetarian options.
Tokyo and Osaka also have Uighur restaurants registered alongside Chinese and fusion cuisine, offering more ways to taste the Silk Road.
The Chinese, Mongolian and Turkish pages are also worth a look. Use the Halal Gourmet Japan map to combine restaurants and prayer places along your route.
