I feel obligated to tell everyone what I've discovered last week.
Remember this the next time you plan a visit to Sakae.
I called them one of the days last week to confirm if the food is indeed halal. The issue came up when my colleague mentioned that Japanese restaurants usually puts alcohol in the rice that makes up the sushi. So, bila dah ragu-ragu, I called Sakae to confirm whether or not they practice this.
The lady said that Sakae has received the Halal certification for their poultry. And they do not put alcohol in their sushi rice. However, they DO include alcohol in their noodles soups; ramen, udon and the likes and in their sauces like in their teriyaki sauce.
I'm bothered with this fact as there is no mention of anything alcoholic in the menu. Paling kurang pun letak la small disclaimer. So misleading!!
I don't know if this is a common practice amongst all Japanese restaurants. I can only confirm for Sakae Sushi. Yang lain tu, Waalahu 'Alam.
