Is kosher wagyu available in Japan?

It can be arranged with significant lead time: wagyu slaughtered with shechita under the supervision you keep. We confirm what is possible for your standard before anything is booked.

Can I eat kosher sushi in Japan?

Yes — prepared in a kosher kitchen from fish with fins and scales, to your supervision standard, including bluefin tuna.

Is it called Kobe beef?

Only certified beef can be sold as Kobe. We describe it as top-grade wagyu from the Kobe region unless certification is confirmed.

Kosher Japan

Japan, kosher, at its very best.

Kosher travel in Japan is possible at the highest level with advance planning: A5 wagyu from the Kobe region slaughtered with shechita under your chosen supervision, a private dawn bluefin tuna experience served as kosher sushi and sashimi, and a private ryokan in Kyoto. Olam composes each journey privately, with Shabbat planned throughout.

Wagyu with shechita

Top-grade wagyu from the Kobe region, prepared under the supervision you keep and cooked on the teppan grill by a master — arranged well ahead, never assumed.

Bluefin tuna at dawn

From the market to a kosher kitchen, a whole fish is broken down and served as sushi, sashimi and toro, privately.

Shabbat in Japan

Meals prepared in advance, accommodation within walking distance where possible, and no travel that conflicts — planned from the first draft.
