Market Growth Factors

Many restaurants and cafes offer Italian Japanese fusion food. Italian pasta dishes are prepared with Japanese ingredients, for example, mentaiko and shoyu. These restaurants and cafes are increasing the Japanese food service pasta market. Millennials and Generation Z consumers particularly enjoy this food. Restaurants like Alter Ego and Michelin-star-rated Gucci Osteria serve gourmet pasta made of ingredients such as yuzu, shiso, and miso, meeting consumer demand for international food with local relevance. The trend has helped small farmers who grow seasonal ingredients and build a connection with their customers, in addition to providing a point of differentiation for various foodservice operators, such as full-service restaurants, quick-service restaurants, and institutional service providers, in a crowded industry, thus contributing to the demand for specialized pasta.

With the growing awareness of healthy food among consumers, Japan's food service pasta market is witnessing a trend toward demand for premium-quality, low-calorie, and whole-grain pasta. Food service providers are adding pasta made from quinoa, brown rice, and legumes, as well as gluten-free and high-fiber pasta, to their menus. Wayback Burgers Asia's "Next Restaurant" in Tokyo raised this product category profile by offering a multibranded one-stop plant-based menu featuring vegan and gluten-free pasta dishes made from high-quality local ingredients. The food trend has been increased by Japan's aging population and flexitarian lifestyle, where consumers want healthier food that still tastes good. Changes in consumer preferences and tastes have influenced menus and the sourcing practices of hotels, cafés, restaurants, and fine-dining establishments.

Another factor contributing to the growth of the Japanese food service pasta market is the increase in quick service restaurants (QSRs). These restaurants cater to the need for convenient, fast food in urban environments. The increase in the number of quick premium pasta dishes in this channel is fulfilling consumers' need for convenience without sacrificing quality. In addition, the dramatic growth in QSRs is expected to affect the growth of the pasta market, helped by product innovation, supported by technology, and consumer needs. This increase reflects the penetration of pasta into social and commercial catering, travel catering, and bars and cafes, which greatly increases distribution for food service pasta products.
