Newly arrived from Nagoya my stomach is empty. It's time for lunch I think, because it was 13:00. Me and my cousin Hiro, looking a near restaurant then ordered a variety of food. Surely Japan's food paradise. At that time I do not know if in Japan many foods should not be eaten by islamic people. I can not mention one by one food that should not be eaten because maybe 90% Japanese food is forbidden.
Really very sorry if the money we earn, spend for the forbidden foods. After I know about this, I always selectively choosing a food, if I buy some food I always see the food ingredients. My experience while in Japan there are some ingredient foods that should not be eaten, maybe list in the below is the basics which will be useful if you go to Japan.

90% Japanese food is forbidden for Muslim? Wow, you should be more careful...
@ H. Nizam: Thank you my friend for your support
@lina: yes I should, but not just only me, I think all Muslim who care about halal food should be careful

Enjoy your stay in Japan. Learnt a few words from your post. TQ.:o)
japan is very nice place.i heard lot about japan.anyways thanks to you for this great post.
One of the most important things we can do to help keep our bodies clean inside is eating healthy meals. There too many places we can go to and find junk food, even in expensive restaurants. You never know what ingredients are being used. The best way to solve this problem is to cook you own healthy meals. Get into the habit of doing this and your health will improve rapidly.
