Uemachi restaurant is located in the Sheraton Miyako Hotel. Its historic feudal like setting coupled with the mansion-like interior design provides diners with an exceptionally lavish experience. You can busk in the Muromachi and Momoyama eras and savour the delectable Halal bento sets. The restaurant’s service is also top class, in line with the spirit of Japanese hospitality known as omotenashi.
The bento sets are made from only the best and freshest seasonal ingredients and have been 100% Halal certified by The Kyoto Council for Sharia and Halal Affairs. In addition, the halal meals are prepared in a separate exclusive halal kitchen so you don’t have to worry if they’ll be mixed with non-halal ones. However, due to the daily limit of only 20 bento sets, you will have to make an advance reservation of at least 3 days.
Since Uemachi is located within Sheraton Miyako Hotel, the logical place of accommodation will definitely have to be the hotel itself. With 579 rooms, free Wi-Fi and Qibla compass and prayer mat rental services available, the hotel is a perfect spot for any Muslim who wishes to stay in a Muslim friendly hotel and savour the delectable bento meals at the Uemachi restaurant.
