📅 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.
