"Availability of halal food
Currently, there are only a small number of halal food producers and halal restaurants in Japan. Many halal restaurants in Japan serve alcohol, as it is difficult for restaurants here to survive without doing so. There are some restaurants that label themselves as "halal" or "Muslim-friendly" and offer a halal menu in addition to their regular menu; however, their dishes were likely prepared in the same kitchen as non-halal dishes. Visitors should exercise personal discretion when dining at such places as the businesses may not be halal in the true sense.
Halal or Muslim-friendly restaurants can be found at major airports and a few leading large hotels, but note that some of them require prior reservations of at least a few days for the preparation of halal meals. Non-Japanese restaurants offering Bangladeshi, Egyptian, Indian, Indonesian, Iranian, Malaysian, Moroccan, Pakistani and Turkish cuisine along with some vegetarian restaurants may also have halal food options.
For more information about halal food, it is advised to consult a local tourist information center. In Tokyo, one such place is the Culture Tourist Information Center in Asakusa.
Outside of the major cities, halal or Muslim-friendly restaurants are even more difficult or often impossible to find. For visitors who prefer preparing their own meals, some supermarkets in major cities offer halal products; however, they tend to be mainly frozen halal meats rather than ready-to-eat foods. The average supermarket in Japan does not sell halal products."
Edit: I seriously doubt all of those "Halal" ramen shops are actually halal. I would bet most if not all of them contain pork. Pork is almost ubiquitous in ramen.

I'm a non-seafood eater and I found myself up against those sorts of cases all the time. Where a new word is used for a food item / ingredient, but what does that mean??
So then you gotta look that up.

Because it's dashi broth and bonito flakes? If you are going to Japan you may as well get a food dictionary started now.

Link them the studies showing that pure vegan diets are usually not balanced for humans in terms of nutrients and may be linked to poor brain development in children, because we are fucking omnivores and meat/animal products is what our big brains run on
