Princess Phi Phi [Vegan and Muslim-friendly]
This restaurant specializes in Mojiko Retro's renowned dish, “Yaki Curry" (baked curry). The owner, who has traveled the world, has developed Muslim-friendly menu items free from pork and alcohol, based on Thai royal cuisine. The most popular item is “Yasai Sommelier Yaki Curry,” which is also Muslim-friendly! The menu highlights Muslim-friendly items and toppings with an “H” mark.
We also recommend the fish and chips featuring Kanmon's specialty pufferfish, and the homemade banana lassi!
The “Yasai Sommelier Yaki Curry” can also be prepared as a vegan option. The restaurant can also accommodate detailed requests such as substituting curry roux or cheese, or avoiding the use of eggs and dairy products. There are also English-speaking staff in the restaurant, so international guests can feel at ease.
Restaurant owner, Mr. Marco
Moji Port is a charming port town lined with retro Western-style buildings. Be sure to make time for a visit!
WADACHI [Vegan and Muslim-friendly]
An izakaya (traditional Japanese pub) where you can enjoy Japanese cuisine such as sashimi, yakitori (grilled chicken skewers), and kushiage (deep fried meat and vegetables on skewers), along with a range of Korean and Italian dishes. The menu indicates if animal-based ingredients, pork, or alcohol are used in each dish.
This restaurant offers a vegan-friendly version of Fukuoka's specialty, tonkotsu ramen.
The rich, creamy soy milk-based broth is topped with chashu made from wheat gluten! The dish replicates authentic tonkotsu soup without using pork or any animal-derived ingredients.
Rice bowls of topped with wheat gluten stew, seasoned to taste like braised pork belly, and dumplings made with local vegetables and free from gokun (five root vegetables: garlic, onion, chives, green onions, leeks), are also popular.
Restaurant owner, Mr. Kimura
We aim to be an izakaya where vegans and Muslims can also gather around the table together with everyone!
SoyStories [Vegan and Muslim-friendly]
A shop specializing in gluten-free, vegan sweets that are free from wheat, dairy, eggs, or alcohol. It is also popular among those who have allergies.
The top-selling item is the “Pure Soy Milk Soft Serve Ice Cream & Rice Flour Waffles.” The waffles, baked till crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, pair perfectly with the rich soy milk soft serve.
Four varieties of ice cream are available, with flavors based on ingredients such as coconut cream, amazake (sweet Japanese rice liquor), and almond milk.
Ingredients are thoroughly checked in items such as donuts. Muslim-friendly items are also available.
The healthy, high-quality sweets are also beloved by locals.
Store owners, Mr. & Mrs. Kominami
We aim to be a shop that moves even those with dietary restrictions, such as vegans or those with allergies, to say, "It's just like a dream!"
