About Praya Halal Food (Osaka Masjid)

Inside the ground floor of Osaka Masjid, a mosque serving Nishiyodogawa Ward's Muslim community near Chibune Station, a small grocery trades under the name Praya Halal Food, a name its owner chose in tribute to Praya, the town in Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, where he was born. The shop is run by an Indonesian resident from Lombok known locally as Abdullah, who stocks the store with Indonesian cooking staples such as spice pastes, instant seasonings, dried anchovies, crackers, and packaged snacks that are difficult to find elsewhere in the Kansai region, alongside broader halal-certified goods aimed at Osaka's wider Muslim community, which draws worshippers from Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and other countries to the mosque upstairs.

The shop, sometimes listed online under the mosque's own name as Osaka Masjid Halal Food, sits at 4-12-16 Owada in Nishiyodogawa Ward, a roughly six-minute walk from Chibune Station on the Hanshin Main Line, or about twelve minutes from Dekijima Station on the Namba Line. It has built a modest but consistent following among Osaka's Indonesian community, documented in reviews and social media posts describing trips to the shop for ingredients not sold in ordinary Japanese supermarkets, as well as inter-country shopping requests, known as jastip, that let customers in Indonesia order Japanese goods through the store and have them shipped home.

The store is open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., though as with many small, family-run shops attached to community institutions, hours can shift around mosque activities and holidays, so calling ahead is advisable for anyone making a special trip. It can be reached by phone, and the mosque's own website lists prayer times and other community information alongside basic shop details. No independently verified email address or dedicated store website separate from the mosque's own online presence could be confirmed, so those fields are left blank pending further confirmation.
