SARTAJ FOODS carries halal meat, oil, rice, beans, spices, snacks, and cosmetic products from different countries.

FAQ
Q: What is the best halal supermarket in Osaka?
A: For dedicated halal groceries, Osaka Spice & Halal Food near Umeda is the most central and well-stocked option, with a wide range of certified meats, spices, and South Asian pantry staples. Everest Spice Mart near Namba is a strong second, particularly for Nepali and Indian ingredients.
Q: How many halal grocery stores are in Osaka?
A: Osaka has a comparatively lower number of halal grocery shops than Tokyo, but there are at least six dedicated halal grocery stores worth visiting. They cluster mainly around two hubs: Umeda (Kita-ku) and Nipponbashi/Namba (Naniwa-ku), with additional halal-friendly sections in mainstream discount chains like Gyomu Super across the city.
Q: Do Osaka halal grocery stores have English signage?
A: Most dedicated halal shops in Osaka are run by South Asian or Middle Eastern owners who speak functional English — you’ll get by fine. Product labels are often in English, Arabic, or Urdu alongside Japanese. Gyomu Super has Japanese-only signage, but halal-certified products carry a recognisable logo on the packaging.
Q: What should I buy at halal grocery stores in Osaka?
A: Certified halal chicken and lamb are the main draw — prices run ¥800–¥1,800/kg depending on the cut. Most Japanese rice and soba are halal-friendly (check for additives); look for halal-certified logos on snacks; opt for halal-certified soy sauce versions since standard soy sauce often contains alcohol; and spices are widely available and usually halal, especially at international supermarkets.
