German grocers are stocked with chicken karaage, deep fried with a soy, ginger and spice batter.<\/p>    <p>Japanese-inspired snacks can be seen in a variety of formats, ranging from classic on-the-go snacks to larger portioned, more filling items. Bold flavours enliven crunchy favourites, including Vietnamese shoyu and honey-flavoured rice crackers, wasabi-soy almonds in Oman. <\/p>    <p>In foodservice, the influence of Japanese cuisine can be seen from quick service restaurants all the way to Michelin-starred fine dining establishments. As food costs continue to rise, take a cue from the hallmarks of Japanese cuisine: capitalise on smaller, more curated portions and focus on bright, umami-forward flavours and unique textures.<\/p>    <div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>    <h2 class=\"linebehind smallh2\"><span>3 Trends to Watch<\/span><\/h2>    <div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>    <div class=\"wp-block-columns img-actualsize trends-watch is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"> <div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"> <div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/griffithfoods.com\/eu\/wp-content\/themes\/griffithfoods\/build\/images\/dummy.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5524 lozad\" data-src=\"https:\/\/griffithfoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/21-GRI-0407-NumberCircles_1.png\"\/><\/figure><\/div>    <h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">82%<\/h3>    <p class=\"has-text-align-center\">of UK consumers enjoy trying world cuisines they haven\u2019t cooked before at home.<\/p> <\/div>    <div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"> <div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/griffithfoods.com\/eu\/wp-content\/themes\/griffithfoods\/build\/images\/dummy.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5526 lozad\" data-src=\"https:\/\/griffithfoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/21-GRI-0407-NumberCircles_2.png\"\/><\/figure><\/div>    <h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">2nd fastest growing<\/h3>    <p class=\"has-text-align-center\">After American cuisine, Japanese is the fastest growing cuisine among European restaurants.<\/p> <\/div>    <div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"> <div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/griffithfoods.com\/eu\/wp-content\/themes\/griffithfoods\/build\/images\/dummy.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5525 lozad\" data-src=\"https:\/\/griffithfoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/21-GRI-0407-NumberCircles_3.png\"\/><\/figure><\/div>    <h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">50%<\/h3>    <p class=\"has-text-align-center\">of German consumers agree that health is an important factor when choosing a world cuisine product.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>    <div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>    <div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>    <div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/griffithfoods.com\/eu\/wp-content\/themes\/griffithfoods\/build\/images\/dummy.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5529 lozad\" data-src=\"https:\/\/griffithfoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Kaisendon_800x168.jpg\"\/><\/figure><\/div>    <h2 class=\"has-text-align-center lowercase-h2 mediumitalic has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#b18c2d;font-size:34px\"><span style=\"color:#b7252f\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Culinary Inspiration<\/span><\/h2>    <p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Simple yet elegant composition is one of the hallmarks of Japanese cuisine.
