Japanese restaurants mushroom in Viet NamThere are more than 1,000 restaurants serving Japanese cuisine in Viet Nam, the majority of which are in HCM City. Outside of HCM City, there are about 110 Japanese restaurants across provinces and cities in southern Viet Nam, such as Binh Duong, Dong Nai, Khanh Hoa, and Ba Ria - Vung Tau provinces. The Japan Consulate official said approximately half of the restaurants serving Japanese food in Viet Nam are run by Japanese owners and the remaining are owned and run by Vietnamese franchisees and entrepreneurs. The increase in Japanese restaurants has also led to a growing number of Japanese food and ingredients sold. Japan exports about US$180 million worth of forestry and seafood to Viet Nam every year.
