IMPORTANT
Japan Dining Card is a communication aid. It does not certify a restaurant or dish as halal, verify ingredients, prevent allergen cross-contact, or guarantee that restaurant staff can accommodate a request. Always confirm directly with restaurant staff before ordering or eating. The app does not provide medical or religious certification or advice.
