Executive Sourcing Verdict

Itsu explicitly states that its meat products are not Halal-certified. Sushi rice contains rice wine vinegar, miso soup contains traces of alcohol, and pork gyozas are prepared in shared kitchen areas.

“Unfortunately, our meat products are not halal certified. Our sushi rice contains rice wine vinegar & our miso soup contains low levels of alcohol, so any products including those ingredients are also not halal.”
