Cook Halal Japanese Miso Soup with Inari-Ku [Simple RECIPES]

By Halal Trip | 30, Jun, 2017

Over the years, Halal Japanese cuisine in Singapore has been increasingly popular. The number of Japanese restaurants in Singapore is growing, but not many serve authentic Halal Japanese cuisine. It is common for Japanese cuisine to contain mirin and shoyu, which have low levels of alcohol. Luckily, some brands are now offering Halal versions of mirin and shoyu – which makes cooking Halal Japanese cuisine at home much easier!

Inari-Ku is a humble home business that serves Halal Japanese cuisine. The story behind Inari-Ku started 14 years ago when Mdm Marhamah, the lady behind Inari-Ku, was determined to recreate a Japanese dish that her son loved – Oyakodon. Her passion for Japanese cuisine grew, and she started doing much research and even flew to Japan to learn how to cook Japanese cuisine from professional Japanese chefs. She has adapted the cooking techniques to be Halal – to be able to offer Halal Japanese cuisine through Inari-Ku.
