The A5 wagyu hits the grill with a soft sizzle, fat rendering instantly. This is Genki Taisho, where halal yakiniku and ramen meet. The White Broth A5 Wagyu Ramen is 3,180 JPY. It’s a rich, peppery soup, the wagyu melting into it. The beef cutlet, at 2,200 JPY, is even better – a crisp crust giving way to tender, almost creamy meat. The restaurant is halal-certified. Most Tokyo ramen shops rely on pork bone broth, a flavour profile that’s practically impossible to replicate authentically with halal ingredients. Genki Taisho’s eight-hour chicken bone broth is a serious undertaking, aiming for that deep umami without the forbidden ingredient. It’s a rare find in a city obsessed with tonkotsu. There are twelve seats at the counter, and it gets quite lively after Maghrib on weekdays. The Prayer Room Shibuya PARCO 5F West is about a 45-minute walk. Bookings are recommended, especially for yakiniku.
