In Japan, globalisation has increased and effected every aspects
such as society, culture and economy, and it also
has brought an economic growth. Whether to progress of globalisation or not
has been debating from every branch of areas. Japanese food has been affected by globalisation but the food in other countries has also been affected by the globalisation of sushi. Japanese globalisation could be called often "
Americanisation". For instance, when I would like to eat something, there
is the large range of choice from various ethnic restaurants. However,
these mainly seems to be distinguished the American companies. So I am going to talk about the globalisation's effects of importing and exporting foods.
Globalisation of import food might be one of positive side from considering the large range of choice in my country. It seems as if we are in another countries without travelling. Some people believe that "fast food chains" typify the globalisation of food in Japan. For example,
McDonald's,
KFC,
SUBWAY,
Wendy's,
Quiznos Sub and
Burger King, also these are mainly from American companies. Although, if we go to a big city we could eat more diverse kinds of fast foods
such as Indian, Mexican and so on. When I was a child, the fast food chains had been already
coming in and taking root in our lifestyle, so I sometimes ate
such as a burger. But my grandparents generation might not imagine to be changed from traditional food style to the other countries styles.
On the other hand, Japanese has also popular and traditional fast food,
it is sushi. It is famous among not only Japanese but also another countries people. People think that such as burgers are generally unhealthy, but sushi is healthy food, so it may have gained acceptance even the other countries. In negative aspects, young people's taste
has changed and they prefer
western fast foods rather than traditional foods. It might be hard for Japanese food industry. Futhermore, older people are apprehensive that younger people might be
effected life-style related disease by
western fast foods. Nowadays, we can get the large range of foods choice, therefore whether or not you agree with globalisation the choice is yours.
