About Hangry Joe’s -Tokyo- Akihabara

Located in the bustling district of Akihabara, this is the first Hangry Joe’s outlet in Japan, known for its mouth-watering “Overflowing Spicy Chicken Burgers.” The American brand has quickly garnered attention for its unique flavors and welcoming environment, attracting a diverse clientele regardless of nationality or ethnicity.

With the rise of Muslim travelers to Japan—now estimated at around 1.4 million annually—there is a pressing need for establishments that cater specifically to Halal dietary requirements. The Hangry Joe’s team recognized this gap in the market and took the significant step of reassessing all aspects of their food sourcing, preparation, and cooking processes to align with Halal standards. Starting November 1, 2025, every item on the menu will be Halal compliant, ensuring an inclusive dining experience for all visitors.

Commitment to Cultural Harmony

Hangry Joe’s is committed to promoting multicultural coexistence in Japan’s dining landscape. The intention is not only to serve loyal locals but also to provide an enjoyable dining experience for customers from various cultural backgrounds. By obtaining this Halal certification, the Akihabara store sets a precedent for restaurants in Japan, making it easier for Muslim travelers to find suitable dining options.
