Since 2023, GLiN has supported over 200 global market research projects for Japanese corporations, collaborating with a network of more than 50 PhD scholars, primarily international students based in Japan.
Through our work with food manufacturers, we have seen firsthand how challenging it can be for international residents, especially those seeking Halal options, to shop in Japan. While Japanese products are known for their high quality, the context behind ingredient labels is often unclear to those from different cultural backgrounds. For example, fermented seasonings or trace amounts of alcohol used for preservation may not always be easy to identify or understand.
We launched this service to bridge that gap. By bringing together Japanese team members who understand the local business environment and Halal users who face these challenges daily, we aim to provide a practical, reliable guide for stress-free shopping in Japan.
The categorization of products is based on the analysis of listed ingredient labels and information provided by manufacturers at the time of inquiry. GLiN does not perform on-site manufacturing audits or religious certifications. Users are advised that manufacturer formulations may change without notice.
