Ebisu Station
A Halal Ramen Shop
About
Menya Honolu Ebisu (麺屋 帆のる 恵比寿店) is the founding flagship of "Menya Honolu" (麺屋 帆のる), opened in June 2015 on the 1st floor of the Amerika-bashi Building at 1-23-1 Ebisu-Minami (恵比寿南), within walking distance of Ebisu Station. The name comes from Honolulu, Hawaii, reflecting founder Shimai's wish to share Japanese ramen with people around the world. The shop earned halal certification in 2020 and became a pioneer of halal-friendly ramen, beloved by Muslim customers.
— From a Kobe mosque: the start of halal ramen
The signature is a rich chicken paitan (鶏白湯) ramen made with halal-certified ingredients. Without any pork-derived ingredients or alcohol, the soup is carefully simmered in the shop every morning. The founding of "Menya Honolu" was sparked by owner Shimai's visit to the Kobe Mosque in 2015, when he learned how hard it was for Muslims in Japan to find meals they could eat. Drawing on his previous experience running Italian and other restaurants, he planned and opened a halal-friendly ramen shop. The shop received halal certification in 2020 and has grown into a ramen shop loved by Muslims around the world. The group has expanded to multiple locations, including Shinjuku Gyoenmae, Kyoto Kawaramachi (in "Honolu Grande Kyoto," Japan's first halal building), and "Honolu Premier Yoyogi Park" opened in August 2025.
