📅 Why Some Shops Were Not Included in the Top 5

While all 10 shops we reviewed contribute to the diversity of Halal and vegan ramen culture in Shinjuku, only 5 were selected for this ranking. The remaining shops were not included in the Top 5 due to one or more of the following reasons:

• Unclear Halal or vegan status

• Limited accessibility from major transport points

• Inconsistent service quality or hours

• Overlap in menu offerings (e.g., multiple similar Lanzhou-style beef ramen shops)

  
  

All are still valuable contributors to the Muslim- and plant-based food scene in Tokyo.

🌍 Prayer Spaces in the Shinjuku Area
