■ Do you pay attention to this in 2016?

The survey also asks about "what I want to experience in the future" (multiple answers). The result is as follows.

1st place "Aged meat boom"
2nd place "Gourmet Festival"
3rd place "Popular overseas restaurant specialty store landed in Japan"
4th place "Stand-up eating shop boom"
5th place "Taiwan Mazesoba"

For both men and women, the 1st place is "Aged Meat Boom" and the 2nd place is "Gourmet Festival". Words with the highest attention in 2015 were also featured here.

The third place is "landing gourmet". This year, many popular shops such as Third Wave Coffee's " Blue Bottle Coffee " and hamburger " Shake Shack " came to Japan one after another. (Introduced in the special feature "Still hot!" Landing gourmet "this and that")

In 2016, the hamburger chain " Carls Jr. " from California and the pizza chain "800 Degrees Neapolitan Pizzeria " that can custom-make 40 kinds of ingredients are scheduled to land. I'm looking forward to this too!

In addition, although it was lower overall, women seem to be interested in "new sensation sweets" and "cold pressed juice."

New sensation sweets are "hybrid sweets" that you can enjoy unique combinations such as "bread x gelato" and "tiramisu x pancakes". The creator of cronuts,Dominique Ansel Bakery , landed in Japan, which attracted a lot of attention. What kind of sweets will be born next?

Cold pressed juice is a juice made using a cold-pressed juicer and using only the water content of ingredients such as vegetables and fruits. This year, the number of specialty stores has increased considerably, and some stores have started mail-order sales. As not only beauty but also health consciousness increases, it may get more attention in the future.
