Osaka Panga SecretBase (Shinsaibashi): Certified-Halal A5 Wagyu in an 18-Seat Hideout

🟢 Certified Halal What does this label mean?
Last verified: July 9, 2026

Here’s a twist our verification uncovered: the Panga wagyu group’s Tokyo shops don’t appear on any certifier’s public list — but its Osaka shops do. This 18-seat “SecretBase” near Shinsaibashi is listed on the Japan Halal Foundation’s official registry (as is the Osaka main branch), making it one of the few certified-halal wagyu experiences in the city: an A5 course dinner in a hideout setting, opened April 2024.

What We Verified

• On the Japan Halal Foundation’s official registry — we confirmed the individual entry (“和牛焼肉大阪ぱんがSecretBase”, Higashi-Shinsaibashi, yakiniku) on JHF’s results pages, along with the sister Osaka main branch. Checked July 9, 2026.
• A5 wagyu course ¥13,200 (for 2+) — confirmed on the shop’s TableCheck booking page.
• Evenings only — 17:30–23:00 (L.O. 22:30), irregular holidays; 18 seats — book ahead.
• One small discrepancy, disclosed — the JHF page writes the address as 1-17-5 Higashi-Shinsaibashi while the shop’s own site says 1-17-15; every other detail (name, phone, hours) matches. Use the map below and the phone number to navigate.

What We Could Not Confirm

• Certification date/number/scope (the JHF page lists name, address, and category only).
• Explicit no-pork/no-alcohol wording on the shop’s own site.
• Single-item menu prices (course pricing confirmed only).
• Exact closing pattern (“irregular”).

What to Order

The A5 wagyu course (¥13,200, minimum 2 people) — the SecretBase format is built around it. Reserve via TableCheck.

The Registry Asymmetry

The Panga group operates nine restaurants across Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. All of them advertise halal certification. We’ve checked the Japan Halal Foundation’s official registry for each of them individually. What we found is a specific pattern we could not have predicted from the group’s own marketing: only the Osaka branches appear in the registry. The Tokyo shops — including the honten (main branch) in Shin-Okachimachi, which we’ve also listed — do not. Kyoto is a similar gap. This might reflect a real difference in certification status across the group; it might reflect an administrative lag in the registry; it might mean something else entirely. Whatever the explanation, it’s the reason SecretBase and the Osaka main branch are our two Certified Halal Panga listings while every other Panga restaurant on the site is labeled Muslim-Friendly. Same operator, same beef, different verification. That’s how we work.
