Is itsu Halal in the UK?

Quick answer It depends

Check itsu's current information for your shop. Chicken dishes are halal only if itsu confirms the chicken is halal-certified, and Japanese-style sauces such as teriyaki can contain mirin (rice wine). Vegetable and fish dishes avoid the meat question.

What to check

How to check a branch

Check the chain's own website or allergen guide, look for a halal certificate on display and its date, and ask staff which items are halal and how they are cooked. Franchise branches can differ from each other.

itsu at the supermarket

itsu's rice noodle pots sold in supermarkets have their own ingredient lists, separate from the restaurants. The "chick'n" ramen contains no chicken, but the itsu noodle pots we checked list alcohol in the broth paste, which many Muslims avoid. See the itsu supermarket products we have checked.
