The most popular food among foreign visitors in Japan was meat, according to a survey conducted in 2023. The Japanese cuisine offers a variety of meat-based dishes including rice bowls with meat toppings (donburi), pork cutlet (tonkatsu) or new trend foods like meat sushi.
The food service industry in Japan is growing steadily within the domestic HRI sector. Strengthened by a lively tourism sector, businesses specializing in popular Japanese dishes like noodle shops and sushi restaurants were recording an upward trend in sales revenue in recent years. However, with fast food like hamburgers and chicken wings growing popular among Japanese consumers, major franchises like MOS Food Services and McDonald’s Japan arranged their product lines to include Western-style fast food with inspirations taken from the local cuisine.
