Authentic Halal Japanese Cuisine at Ryu, Reopened Near Ebisu Station

The well-loved restaurant “Ryu,” famous for its authentic motsunabe, has reopened near Ebisu Station with a fully halal menu.

With a legacy of serving exquisite dishes in Hakata for over 20 years, Ryu now brings its renowned flavors to Tokyo, offering a perfect blend of traditional Japanese cuisine with halal-certified ingredients.

Ryu’s charming atmosphere is a hidden gem, just a 1-minute walk from JR Ebisu Station. A white lantern marks the entrance, inviting diners into a serene, cozy space on the basement floor.

With its recent reopening, the restaurant is now fully halal, offering a range of dishes to cater to the growing demand for Muslim-friendly dining options.

At the heart of Ryu’s offerings is its signature motsunabe, made with halal-certified Japanese beef intestines. The motsu is simmered in a secret broth, creating a dish with a unique, melt-in-your-mouth texture that’s both flavorful and comforting.

The broth’s depth, paired with the tender motsu, is a standout experience that reflects the dedication to quality that Ryu is known for.

Beyond motsunabe, Ryu also serves a variety of halal dishes. One must-try is the karaage, Ryu’s famed fried chicken. Crispy on the outside and juicy inside, the karaage is available with a simple salt seasoning or a sweet and spicy chili sauce for added zest.

Another popular choice is the beef skewers, made with halal-certified Japanese beef. These skewers are crispy on the outside and bursting with juicy, flavorful meat on the inside, a rare find even in Tokyo’s bustling food scene.

Despite its halal menu, Ryu maintains the essence of traditional Japanese cuisine, with flavors loved by both local and international visitors. Whether you’re exploring the world of motsunabe for the first time or revisiting a favorite dish, Ryu’s relaxed, hideaway ambiance, and flavorful offerings make it a must-visit spot in Ebisu.

Do note that while the food menu is entirely halal, alcoholic beverages are available on the drinks menu.
