Japanese cuisine popular in the UAE
Abu, Dhabi, The Gulf Observer: Japanese cuisine has been popular in the UAE ever since Japanese people started living here several decades ago.
Although Japanese expatriates remain a small community, the popularity of Japanese cuisine has outgrown the community’s size with its cosmopolitan appeal.
The number of food outlets offering Japanese foods in the UAE has made a quantum leap of 163.4 percent in the past decade, which reveals a multicultural society’s growing taste for cosmopolitan cuisine.
This keen interest of Emiratis and other residents in Japanese food has also played a major role in robust people-to-people relations, as Japan and the UAE are celebrating the 50th anniversary of establishing the diplomatic relations.
