How to say "kosher" in Japanese

• カシェル
  no-adjectiveCovers the literal sense of 'kosher': food conforming to Jewish dietary law. The form reflects the Hebrew original rather than the English pronunciation, and being a less common loanword it may need a brief explanation.
• コシェル
  no-adjectiveAlso refers to food permitted under Jewish dietary law; this spelling follows the English pronunciation. Like カシェル it is a less common loanword, and the meaning is identical — only the transliterated sound differs.

Both are katakana renderings of the same loanword for food prepared under Jewish dietary law; 「カシェル」 echoes the Hebrew original and 「コシェル」 the English pronunciation, so the choice is a matter of sound, not meaning.
