There are two Halal Japanese restaurants nearby the guest house which is Uosho and Asakusa Teppan Taro. We recommend you to go to Uosho and try a very unique dish that probably exists only in Japan.

But don't worry, the chefs in Uosho has gotten the license to cook and process this fish to their customer. Not every chef has this license though, so you better not miss this while in Tokyo!
