02 Plant based meat

Plant based meat did getting increasingly popular in Asia for a short time. For Japan, the plant based meat has never really become popular. The meat industry has tried various plant based meat the last 10 years, but all their attempts have failed. The reason is the majority of customers simply dislikes the products. Secondly, the industry, simply need the product to be pricewise competitive to accept it.

Secondly, for the very simple reason, Japanese love meat. Many of the well-known Japanese dishes starting with sushi (fish), yakiniku, yakitori, shabu-shabu, is all based on high quality real meat and not plant based meat.
