Changing tastes: The rise of veganism forces restaurants to expand menus or risk losing market share

Over the five years through 2022-23, revenue is expected to fall at a compound annual rate of 5%, though this downward trend is mostly from the pandemic. Growing health consciousness is pushing sales, and people are becoming more vigilant of the foods they consume, and the unique Japanese diet is rumoured to be linked to healthy ageing and longevity.
