Japan-HK trip : Halal Wagyu beef

This is the BEST restaurant in Japan for this trip! I felt something special was about to be served once we walked into the restaurant. The place is so cute, so small that we kinda took turn to hit our head onto the smoke extractor hanging on top of the wooden table, when we were sitting down.
The owner of this restaurant is Mr Akmal, the MD of Malaysia Halal Corporation Japan. I have the privilege to listen about the beef origin, the correct way to breed a cow, his effort to promote halal industry in Japan, (his Japanese wife) and other interesting experiences since we sat at the same table.
These are what we had, fusion of Japanese and Korean food : 
Appetizer : Bean sprouts :
Then, kimchi. Korean fermented cabbage :
Pajeon. Korean-style pancake :
Fresh vegetable salad :
Then....... YES, HALAL WAGYU BEEF!!!! The authentic wagyu beef from Japan. OMG, we got four plates for each table. IT DOES TASTE YUMMY and JUICY and SO TENDER you dont have to chew.... :
Then, in between, we have beriani rice. So good :
After that, bibimbop. Koreab beef & mixed vegetable rice. This is the before :
This is the after. They mixed it together, then it is good to eat :
Look! They gave us cute bib too!
This is the dessert. Simple ice cream. Not too overwhelming. Just nice.
I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT!

Thank you to Mr Akmal for his endless efforts to promote HALAL INDUSTRY in Japan!

Sorry to be a pain, but, where is the restaurant located and the name of it. Think about going to Japan next year so trying to find the best halal place. Jazakallah.

Dear Sir, I am actually honoured to receive this request.

The restaurant name is Sumiyakiya in Minato-ku, Tokyo. This is the link from Msian Halal Corp, Japan - http://en.mhalalc.jp/yakiniku.html

This is the link to all Halal restaurants in Japan, also from Msia Halal Corp, Japan - http://en.mhalalc.jp/restaurant.html

They were so thoughtful to include the map, menu, price list and other info for each restaurant. Only Sumiyakiya have info in English because it belong to the MD of Msian Halal Corp, Japan.

I hope you have a great trip to Japan!
