Japanese restaurant Gonpachi Nishi-Azabu is pleased to introduce a new Muslim-friendly menu.

Gonpachi, which has attracted many celebrities in the past, is especially known for hosting a meeting between former U.S. President George Bush and then Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi in 2002. It was also the model for an iconic fight scene in the Hollywood hit Kill Bill.

The restaurant would like to offer a place where anyone can enjoy a meal, regardless of customs or religious views. Muslim guests at the restaurant can rest assured that the meals, which include shrimp fishcakes, beef and chicken dishes, comply with their dietary requirements. A Muslim chef, adhering to halal tenets, prepares all the dishes with utmost care and consideration, while offering an explanation of the items served.
