At Takesan, our ramen franchise brand, we have been developing menus with an eye toward expansion into Islamic countries.   Since HALAL certification requirements vary by country, we are fully prepared to promptly obtain the necessary HALAL certification in the relevant country once a potential franchisee emerges. Takesan Ramen offers a variety of menu items, including plant-based ramen made without any animal meat, chicken-based ramen, and plant-based gyoza. These items are already hugely popular in the Japanese and European markets. Since our expansion strategy centers on these menu items, we can bring our proven success to your country.       [ramen](https://blog.assentia-hd.com/faq-en/tag/ramen), [JapaneseFranchise](https://blog.assentia-hd.com/faq-en/tag/japanesefranchise) ## Blog comments ## Related posts [![](https://blog.assentia-hd.com/hs-fs/hubfs/takesan.png?height=200&name=takesan.png)](https://blog.assentia-hd.com/faq-en/how-ramen) [ramen](https://blog.assentia-hd.com/faq-en/tag/ramen), [JapaneseFranchise](https://blog.assentia-hd.com/faq-en/tag/japanesefranchise) ## [How to open a Japanese ramen franchise in your country?](https://blog.assentia-hd.com/faq-en/how-ramen) ![Picture of NOBU](https://blog.assentia-hd.com/hs-fs/hubfs/nobu.jpg?width=50&name=nobu.jpg) [NOBU](https://blog.assentia-hd.com/faq-en/author/nobu) Jun 20, 2026, 5:32:45 PM It is important to choose a ramen franchise that can succeed in your country.
