Wagyu beef cutlet rice bowl
If you’ve been wanting to try Japanese beef cutlets during your trip, TENMADE’s Halal Wagyu Katsu Rice Bowl (Katsuju) deserves a place on your food wishlist.
Katsuju is a Japanese rice dish featuring a breaded beef cutlet served over rice. It’s a wonderful way to explore Japanese-style fried cutlets while enjoying Wagyu beef.
At TENMADE, the halal Wagyu katsu rice bowl has already become one of the restaurant’s popular dishes.
The restaurant sources its halal Wagyu beef from Zenkai Meat company, a Japanese halal meat supplier.
For Muslim visitors who want to experience Wagyu beyond yakiniku or steak, this offers another way to enjoy one of Japan’s best-known culinary specialties.
More Than Wagyu Katsu: Try Halal Wagyu Ramen and Japanese Curry
Can’t decide between ramen, curry, and Wagyu?
At TENMADE, you have more than one option!
Alongside its popular Wagyu katsu rice bowl, the restaurant has introduced halal Wagyu ramen and Japanese curry dishes, including Wagyu katsu curry.

It’s especially worth keeping in mind if you’re traveling with friends or family who want to try different Japanese dishes.
Is Everything at TENMADE Halal?
This is an important question for Muslim travelers, particularly when dining at restaurants offering a variety of Japanese dishes.
According to the restaurant information, all food served at TENMADE is halal-compliant, not just the Wagyu katsu and ramen. However, the restaurant does serve alcoholic beverages.
This distinction is worth knowing before your visit, especially if you have specific dining requirements.
Beyond Wagyu, TENMADE’s reservation information also introduces other Japanese-inspired dishes, including:
- Mapo dishes featuring Kyoto tofu, combining a local Kyoto ingredient with a flavorful preparation
- Steamed Kyoto vegetables, highlighting regional produce
- Kyoto-style spicy tantan noodles, another noodle option for those who enjoy bold flavors
These additional choices make TENMADE an interesting dining destination for visitors who want to explore different sides of Japanese cuisine.
If you have particular dietary restrictions, including vegetarian or vegan requirements, check the ingredients of individual dishes directly with the restaurant before ordering.
