OUR STORY & MISSION
Japanese snacks are widely known for being delicious, with some never-before-seen variety and unique packaging. But we often see and heard foreigners with dietary restrictions, including Muslims, finding it hard to pick out what they can eat.
OUR MISSION is to help Muslims in any way possible to have a great journey in Japan by sharing the grooviest and much-loved Japanese treats and food products. We wish this could help increase the Muslim-friendly/Halal options of Japan.
Of course, people other than Muslims are also more than welcome to munch with JAPANeid!
So help us share the word on the Muslim-friendly Japanese delights to the world. Make sure to add #japaneid when you post on social media! Feel free to tag us too (^_-)
Our Muslim-friendly Policy
The JAPANeid curation team put our heart and soul into delivering awesome Japanese snacks to you!

- We only select items that are safe from cross-contamination with substances of non-halal animals and alcoholic drinks*3
- If an item has alcohol (ethanol) added ingredients, only ones with an alcohol content less than 0.5% are accepted based on the standards of global halal organisations*4
*1 Animal ingredients refer to pig-based (e.g. pork or lard) and other non-halal animals, including halal animals that are not slaughtered according to Islamic law like chicken or cow
