1. Introduction: Bringing Japanese Delicacies to the World
At the “Japanese Food” Export EXPO held in November 2024, Japanese food manufacturers presented their proud products to the world. We too opened a stall on this grand stage and introduced our halal-certified noodles and teas to many buyers and general visitors. In this blog, we will introduce some of the products that attracted the most attention!
2. What is Halal Certification?
Halal certification is a certification that indicates that the food is safe for Muslims to eat. The food must meet strict standards from raw materials to the manufacturing process. Among the products we exhibited this time, we prepared traditional Japanese noodles such as ramen, somen, soba, and udon, as well as special teas
