Seasonings that we should avoid to use
Mirin (Sweet cooking rice wine)
Mirin is one of the Japanese basic seasonings.
However, it is the fermented food made from alcohol, so we cannot use Mirin at all.
Therefore, we have created recipes by using alternative seasonings or devising cooking.
As an alternative seasoning of Mirin, you can use Halal certified Mirin style seasoning, and pure honey.

Japanese Sake(Alcohol)
Sake is often used in Japanese dishes, but you cannot use it for Muslim at all.
The food that contains alcohol in raw materials also can not be used.
When you choose soy sauce and miso, please choose the alcohol additive-free product. (For details, please refer to each page)
Some processed foods incrude the alcohol component as raw material. For example, the skin of dumplings.
Accordingly, you need to check the food label carefully and choose the alcohol additive-free product.
