Source-derived summary

The global cuisine or world cuisine is a cuisine that is practiced around the world. A cuisine is a characteristic style of cooking that includes specific practices and traditions, often associated with a specific region, country, or culture. To become a global cuisine, a local, regional, or national cuisine must spread internationally and be commonly served around the world. There have been significant improvements and advances during the 20th century in food preservation, storage, shipping, and production, and today many countries, cities, and regions have access to their traditional cuisines and many other global cuisines.

Asia

Nepal

Philippines

Japan

Japanese cuisine has spread throughout the world, and representative dishes such as sushi and ramen are among the most popular. In many cases, Japanese food is adapted and reinvented to fit the preferences of the local populace. For instance, the California roll is a popular dish in the United States that is a modification of the Japanese makizushi, a type of sushi. In South Korea, both the Japanese curry and the ramen have been imported and popularized primarily in the form of instant food. Tonkatsu and tempura, which are derived from Western food, are now considered and marketed as uniquely Japanese, as well as Japanese curry, which is derived from Indian curry.

In many countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Philippines, and Brazil, Japanese restaurants have become popular.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Global cuisine” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Global, cuisine and dishes provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q17054362. The Library of Congress control number is sh85031838. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
