🟢 Certified Halal What does this label mean?
Last verified: July 8, 2026
Opened in November 2025 by a company that exports halal wagyu to Indonesia and Malaysia, Sudaku Kyoto serves certified-halal A5 Omi beef yakiniku three minutes from Marutamachi Station — open every day, 11:00 to 23:00. It’s the most accessible of Kyoto’s certified restaurants: no course-only rules, no ryotei formality, just top-grade wagyu over a grill. One clear fact to know: there is no prayer space (confirmed, not just unverified).
What We Verified
- Certified by the Kyoto Halal Council — re-confirmed on the council’s official client list (name, address, hours). Checked July 8, 2026.
- No pork, no alcohol policy — the operator’s opening press release states the restaurant avoids pork, pork-derived ingredients, and alcohol.
- Operating — listed as 営業中 on the operator’s (Omi Beef Trading Co.) official store list. Don’t be confused by search results about “Sudaku Kyoto Honten” in Saiin — that was a different, non-halal branch of the same group that closed in 2024. This halal restaurant is a separate shop and is open.
- Courses — 5-cut A5 Omi beef comparison course ¥8,800 (with rice and a 90-min drink bar); premium 9-cut course ¥12,100. 60 seats.
What We Could Not Confirm
- Which phone number is current (070-1489-5774 on the operator page vs 050-5597-4408 elsewhere).
- Whether the course “drink bar” is fully alcohol-free (expected at a halal restaurant, but not spelled out).
- Equipment/supply separation from the group’s non-halal brands.
- Reservation lead time (online booking exists).
What to Order
The A5 Omi beef comparison course (¥8,800) — five cuts, all-you-can-eat rice, 90-minute drink bar. Upgrade to the premium 9-cut course (¥12,100) for rare cuts plus seafood and chicken.

The Export-Business Context
Sudaku Kyoto’s operator, Omi Beef Trading Company, is not primarily a restaurant business. It’s a wagyu export company that ships halal-certified Japanese beef to markets in Indonesia, Malaysia, and elsewhere in Southeast Asia, where demand for premium halal beef has grown sharply in the last decade. The Kyoto restaurant is, in effect, the company’s showcase outlet — the place where the same beef the company exports internationally is also served domestically for a walk-in dinner crowd. That context tells you two things. First, the wagyu is very good, because the underlying supply chain has been optimized for Muslim markets that pay a premium for quality. Second, this is a business, not a passion project, which comes with its own advantages: consistent operations, standard hours, real reservations infrastructure. For a Muslim traveler who wants a reliable and unambiguous halal wagyu dinner in central Kyoto, this listing is the most low-friction option on the site.
