Sushi Reverses Course: Consuming American Sushi in Tokyo by Matthew Allen, Rumi Sakamoto

“…The phenomenon has accelerated rapidly since the turn of the millennium.While sushi’s global expansion has attracted the attention of Japanese and global media (Kato 2002; Matsumoto 2002; Tamamura 2004; Ikezawa 2005; Fukue 2010) and a number of scholarly works address sushi’s global popularity and its transformation outside Japan (Bestor 2000; Ng 2001; Cwiertka 1999; 2005; 2006),2 little scholarly or journalistic work exists on one important facet of sushi’s recent global growth — namely, the return home of transformed sushi to Japan, at times in barely recognisable forms. This paper offers an analysis of this “reverse import (gyaku yunyū)” phenomenon and its specific expression in what we refer to as “American sushi” in Tokyo as a contribution toward assessing culinary globalisation. …”

The shifting regulation and competition interface by Max Huffman

“…Competition policy and regulation have different strengths and will thus be preferred in different settings, as well as at differ- ent times in the chronology of industry growth. While competition policy might be favoured early in the growth of an industry, when the efficient outcomes are unknown and unknowable, regulation is a preferred approach when the industry is mature, inno- vation has slowed, and gains come from operational efficiencies rather than techno- logical changes. …”
