At HALRA, everything from the richly balanced sukiyaki sauce to the food are made using halal ingredients. The result is a meal that not only satisfies your appetite but also brings comfort to your heart. The sukiyaki is prepared Kansai-style with tofu, mushrooms, and veggies, thin slices of wagyu gently simmered in a sweet-savory sauce.

You can choose your preferred portion of meat; 150g, 200g, or 300g.  As the beef cooks, its aroma fills the air, and when you dip it into raw egg, it becomes irresistibly creamy and smooth. With refill-able rice, miso soup, and egg, with udon as the finishing dish, every diner can enjoy this experience fully, at their own pace.
