However, the Asian food market – a major culinary genre – was almost nonexistent until just a few years ago. With most citizens and visitors to Israel harking from the Middle East, Africa, Europe and America, the cuisine has largely reflected the same patchwork, and Asian food fell under the radar.
However, the growth of this sector has grown with the number of Israelis traveling to Asia and the Far East. Israeli’s are very good at exporting their innovation just as they are adept at importing ideas and cuisine they have discovered on their jaunts abroad. Slowly but surely, the demand for Asian restaurants in Israel, particularly Japanese restaurants.
