Words to recognise
Words to recognise while doing shopping in order to avoid pork and alcohol. Generally meat sold in Tokyo won’t be Halal unless specified. If one cannot read the Japanese characters it can be quite challenging to buy food. But it is not impossible! Here are the most important characters:
- 肉 means meat. Except for 果肉 (fruit pulp) everything that uses 肉 comes from an animal (鶏肉 is chicken and チキン /牛肉 is beef)
- Most of the sweets and a lot of dairy products contain gelatin and unfortunately almost all Ramen (ラーメン)
- Broths are made with pork, even the seafood and vegetable ones
- 豚 (pork)
- ゼラチン (gelatin)
- マーガリン (margarine)
- アルコール (alcohol)
- 酒 (sake/alcohol)
- 味醂/味りん (Mirin)
