# Halal-Friendly Japanese Steaks 'Juliett' Serves Up Australian Wagyu Steaks for Muslim Customers By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2017-01-23 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juliett References: [japantimes.co.jp](http://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2016/07/29/food/juliett-australian-wagyu-japans-muslim-community/) & [foodcafejuliett.jimdo](https://foodcafejuliett.jimdo.com/) With a growing number of [Muslim](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woodlands-sourdough) travelers visiting Japan, restaurant such as Juliett are making some significant menu changes. Although the steakhouse does serve alcohol, it also offers special halal options that can be ordered by Muslim guests looking to enjoy a delicious steak dinner. Like many other Australian steakhouses in Japan, Juliett serves a range of cuts, including rump, sirloin and Australian wagyu. Customers can select how they would like their meat cooked and the dish will come pre-cut into convenient, bite-sized pieces. However, Juliett stands out from many other restaurants in that all of its steaks, including the [Australian wagyu option](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jacks-creek-wagyu-x), are available in a halal version. As a result, the restaurant has become extremely popular among Nagoya's [Islamic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halal-certification) community and Muslim visitors to the neighborhood. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Halal-friendly Restaurants:** Opportunity for restaurants to cater to the growing demand for halal options by offering specialized menus. - **Cultural Cuisine Fusion:** Opportunity for restaurants to create unique fusion dishes by combining different culinary traditions, such as Japanese steakhouses offering halal-friendly options. - **Muslim-friendly Tourism:** Opportunity for tourism businesses to cater to the growing Muslim travel market by offering services that accommodate halal dietary restrictions and cultural sensitivities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** Opportunity for hotels, restaurants, and airlines to attract Muslim travelers by offering halal options and services. - **Meat Processing:** Opportunity for meat processing companies to expand halal-certified product lines to cater to the growing demand for halal meat products. - **Tourism:** Opportunity for tour operators and travel agencies to design itineraries and services that cater to the needs and interests of Muslim travelers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spicy Japanese Steaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanabi-hot-ribeye-steak.md) - [Vegan Mushroom Steak Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wagamama.md) - [Japanese-Peruvian Fusion Cuisine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japaneseperuvian-fusion-cuisine.md) - [Limited-Edition Christmas Meats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wagyu-christmas-joints.md) - [Cubed Steak Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steak-sauce-whopper.md) - [Upscale Halal-Friendly Lounges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halal-menu.md) - [Faith-Compliant Tourism Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halal-holidays.md) - [Kosher Cultivated Steaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cultivated-steaks.md) - [Vegan Sorghum-Based Steaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nikugoe.md)
