Delisting changelog
We publish a record of venues we have removed from the dataset, and why. Showing what we remove is part of how we earn trust β a directory that only ever grows is not being honest about closures.
Confirmed removals
| Restaurant | Area | Approx. date | Reason | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CoCo Ichi Akihabara | Akihabara | ~2020 | Restaurant permanently closed | Tabelog closed (ιεΊ) flag and Google Maps permanently closed flag |
| Sekai CafΓ© | Tokyo | ~2020 | Restaurant permanently closed | Tabelog closed (ιεΊ) flag and Google Maps permanently closed flag |
These are the only removals we are publishing as confirmed closures at this time.
Under review
Two venues were removed in an earlier internal pass after closure flags were seen, but a later review found conflicting evidence β both still appeared open on other halal directories as of the review date. We are not calling these confirmed closures, and we are not calling them open either. We list them here so the situation stays visible while it's being resolved.
- NikoNiko Halal Mazemen & Curry (Kanda) β status under review. Conflicting evidence between closure flags and current listings on other directories.
- Arabian Restaurant Zenobia (Hiroo) β status under review, same situation.
If you have visited either venue recently, we would welcome a note at hello@japanhalalguide.jp β visitor evidence is one of the inputs we use to resolve these cases.
Why this page exists
Closure information is exactly the kind of thing that goes stale in old forum threads and travel blog posts. If you came here from a list that still recommends a venue on this page, that list is out of date. We would rather show the removal than leave a dead listing in place. See how we verify for the liveness process behind this changelog.
