Absolutely. Japan's cuisine is known for its balance and seasonality.
Focusing on seafood, Japan offers sushi, ramen, and tempura. With 85.1% seafood consumption, it's a culinary masterclass.
The Maldives also heavily features seafood, at 75.2% consumption, making fresh catches a staple.
But Maldivian cuisine includes rice and tubers, balancing carbohydrates and nutrients.
Both countries could benefit from more vegetables. Japan is exploring local agriculture and hydroponics.
The Maldives is also improving local agriculture and incorporating more regional spices.
Innovative food solutions are key. Japan leads in lab-grown meat and algae-based alternatives.
Japan uses advanced preservation and vertical farms, while the Maldives focuses on sustainable fishing and using fishing byproducts.
These approaches highlight how Japan and the Maldives complement each other. Japan blends tradition and technology, while the Maldives uses its natural resources.
