UK’s First & Only 100% Halal Japanese Cash & Carry — Based in Manchester
Think Green Giggles is proud to be the first dedicated importer in the United Kingdom to bring you a complete halal-certified range of authentic Japanese sauces, sushi ingredients, frozen gyoza, karaage, yakitori, bao buns and exotic seafood — all under one roof in Longsight, Manchester.
The North of England’s Home of Halal Japanese & Asian Ingredients
For years, observant Muslim families, restaurateurs and home cooks across Manchester and the wider UK had to compromise — either skipping authentic Japanese cooking altogether, or settling for sauces and frozen products containing alcohol-based mirin, non-halal vinegars, or unverified gelatines. Think GG (Green Giggles Sustainable Business Ltd) was founded to end that compromise.
We are the first & only company in the UK to import an own-branded, fully halal-certified range of Japanese sauces and frozen ready meals. From our base at Velo Business Park in Longsight, Manchester, we serve both walk-in retail customers from the local community and wholesale buyers — restaurants, takeaways, sushi counters, and independent grocers — across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Whether you’re searching for halal sushi ingredients in Manchester, alcohol-free Japanese sweet seasoning (halal mirin alternative), halal gyoza near me, or a wholesale supplier of halal Korean and Japanese sauces, you’ve come to the right place.
★ Omakase by Cupid — UK’s First 100% Halal Japanese Frozen Food Range
Our flagship Omakase by Cupid range is the headline achievement that put us on the map. It is the United Kingdom’s first complete halal-certified, premium Japanese frozen food lineup — restaurant-quality appetisers, sides and mains designed for both home freezers and professional kitchens. No alcohol, no non-halal vinegar, no compromise. Just authentic Japanese flavour, certified from end to end.
Highly requested by Manchester’s Muslim community and food businesses across the UK, this range covers everything from halal gyoza and Japanese fried chicken to pillowy steamed bao buns and ready-to-eat seafood. Perfect for pan-frying, steaming or air-frying — at home or in your restaurant.
Halal Sauce Range — The UK’s Largest Imported Selection
Our Halal Sauce Range is, to our knowledge, the widest selection of own-imported halal-certified Japanese and Korean sauces available anywhere in the UK. Every bottle and pack in this range is alcohol-free and certified halal — including our hard-to-find halal Japanese sweet seasoning (a true halal alternative to traditional mirin, which normally contains alcohol).
This is the bread and butter for any halal sushi counter, ramen shop, izakaya-style takeaway or Asian fusion restaurant in the UK. Stock up on shoyu, sushi rice vinegar, ramen soup bases, gochujang, kimchi sauce, okonomi, fry sauce and more — all from a single trusted halal supplier.
Sushi Toppings & Halal-Friendly Sushi Ingredients
Building a halal sushi menu in Manchester or anywhere in the UK? Our sushi toppings range gives you everything beyond the rice and nori — sweet prawns, surf clam, squid, crab sticks, masago and vegan-friendly orange masagi (perfect for halal-conscious customers who avoid traditional non-halal fish roe processing). Most items in this category are naturally halal seafood; for any specific dietary verification, just contact our team and we’ll point you to the right SKU.
Exotic Seafood — Lobster, Pomfret, Octopus & More
Seafood is the cornerstone of halal Japanese cooking — and our exotic seafood range is built for restaurant kitchens and serious home chefs across Manchester and the UK. From frozen rock lobster tails and lobster meat in brine to baby octopus, blue swimming crab, golden Chinese pomfret and sea-frozen hake, every product is sourced from trusted suppliers and arrives consistently graded. Perfect for sushi counters, fish & chip upgrades, Cantonese restaurants, halal seafood eateries, and home dinner parties.

Halal Food FAQs
Is the entire Think GG range halal certified?
Our own-brand Omakase by Cupid range and our dedicated Halal Sauce Range are 100% halal certified. Across all other categories — sushi toppings, exotic seafood, dry goods — we source halal wherever possible. If you need certification details for a specific SKU, contact our staff and we’ll provide the relevant documents.
Do you sell halal mirin (Japanese sweet seasoning)?
Yes. Traditional mirin contains alcohol, which is why most Japanese sauces are not halal. Our Japanese Sweet Seasoning 18L is a fully halal-certified, alcohol-free alternative — ideal for sushi rice, teriyaki, glazes and ramen bases.
Where is your Manchester store located?
We’re based at Unit 2 & 3, Velo Business Park, 2 Bellevue Avenue, Longsight, Manchester M12 4AS — about 10 minutes from Manchester city centre, just off the A6.
Can I buy halal Japanese frozen food for my home freezer, or is it wholesale only?
Both. We’re an export, import, wholesale and retail operation. You can buy a single pack of halal gyoza or karaage for your family dinner, or order a pallet for your restaurant — same depot, same prices honoured by quantity.
Do you deliver halal food across the UK?
Yes — we offer nationwide wholesale distribution to restaurants, takeaways and retailers across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. For trade accounts and bulk orders, call us on +44 0161-222-3535 or email sales@thinkgreengiggles.com.
What’s in the Omakase by Cupid range?
The full Omakase by Cupid range includes halal chicken & vegetable gyoza, prawn gyoza, hoisin duck gyoza, hoisin duck spring rolls, chicken karaage, hirata buns, gua bao, octopus slice and frozen unagi (roasted eel) slice — all halal certified, all restaurant-quality.
Are the Korean sauces (gochujang, kimchi sauce) halal?
Yes — both our 2.3kg Gochujang and 2.2kg Kimchi Sauce are part of our halal sauce range, certified and free from non-halal ingredients.
