A discussion of recent search trends
Looking at today’s Google search trends, hard news such as international affairs (Venezuela, U.S.) and domestic economy (250 yen to the dollar, Nikkei 225) dominate the top of the list. However, it is striking to see “Sushi Zammai” ranked among them. This can be read as an indication of the first tuna auction at the beginning of the year and the high level of interest in everyday food. It may also indicate a renewed awareness of food and a desire for a slightly luxurious “gourmet reward” as the year-end and New Year’s events come to an end and daily life returns to normal.
On the other hand, several celebrity names also ranked in the list, indicating that topics on TV and SNS are directly linked to search behavior. Although there are only a few words directly related to sweets and food culture, these trends as a whole indicate that people are looking for “something a little unusual” and “something topical” in their daily lives. In the area of homemade recipes, it is possible that recipes that are not simply standard fare, but use slightly special ingredients or experiment with unexpected combinations may resonate with people by adding a topic of conversation and color to the dinner table.
Seasonal words such as “kokan” suggest that there is a need for warm and nourishing foods as the winter cold sets in. There are also many soccer-related searches, suggesting that there is also demand for easy and tasty snacks and sweets to accompany sports games. Overall, it can be said that there is a demand for food experiences that allow people to share small pleasures and topics of conversation in their daily lives.
