With more than 170,000 Japanese restaurants around the world, Japanese cuisine has become truly global. This talk summarizes the research process and principle results of \u00a0The Global Japanese Restaurant: Mobilities, Imaginaries, and Politics<\/em>\u00a0(University of Hawaii Press, 2023). Drawing on archival sources and fieldwork in multiple languages, this co-authored and co-edited book centers on the stories of Japanese migrants in the first half of the twentieth century, and then on non-Japanese chefs and restaurateurs from Asia, Africa, Europe, Australasia, and the Americas whose mobilities, since the mid-1900s, have been reshaping and spreading Japanese cuisine. The talk traces five Japanese food fashions, from the long-forgotten Japanese tearooms that were in vogue in the late nineteenth century to the izakaya boom still visible in cities around the world. These examples show how the restaurant is a continually reinvented imaginary of Japan produced by restaurateurs, cooks, and servers of various nationalities and ethnicities acting as cultural intermediaries and interpreters of a new globalized Japanese cuisine.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
