What to Avoid

• pork
• alcohol
• non-halal meat
• blood

Menu Ideas

The following dishes from japanese cooking work well for this combination:

• sushi — Note: avoid pork and alcohol in preparation.
• gyoza — Naturally compatible with halal requirements.
• ramen — Naturally compatible with halal requirements.

Drinks Pairing

Champagne, fine wine by course. For halal guests, verify all drinks are compatible — particularly wines (some contain dairy-based fining agents) and cocktails with cream liqueurs.

Quantity Guide

For a anniversary of 2–10 people: plan $40–$120 per head for food, which should comfortably cover a two-course meal or a substantial buffet. For exact piece counts, use the Portion Calculator.

Make-Ahead Notes

Japanese cooking at its best involves day-of preparation. Prep all ingredients 24 hours ahead, but schedule 2–3 hours of active cooking on the day of the event.
