Comida Japonesa: modismo ou adaptação. Um estudo sobre os hábitos dos consumidores em um bairro da Zona Norte do Recife

Abstract

The growing number of Japanese food restaurants in the northern part of the city of Recife, the breaking of paradigms regarding the taste of this gastronomic specificity, as well as its relationship with the consumption and eating habits of diners justifies the elaboration of this work, which aims to study the fads and food adaptations present in the habits of the population, related to the consumption of Japanese food, whether they really appreciate it or whether theyare influenced by marketing and culinary fads. In order to carry out data collection, the questionnaire was used, in addition to unsystematic and non-participant personal observation, based on these analyzes and for categorizing the data, graphs and tables were elaborated that enabled the results and discussions to be made feasible. . It was noted that there is a total adaptation of taste by Japanese food consumers and that there are also other factors that are associated with this frequency in restaurants. Another fact to be highlighted is the total possibility of the presence of a Home Economics professional working in the studied markets, with broad and active training in this area of research.
