Where the country has 342 Japanese restaurants spanning everything from Tokyo-trained omakase counters to neighbourhood ramen bars, there are roughly 10 Korean establishments in the whole country — and most opened within the last few years. The driving force is the same one reshaping menus from London to São Paulo: K-pop and K-drama have made Korean food aspirational. Younger Israelis who grew up watching Korean content now want to eat kimchi jjigae and bibimbap, and a small but growing number of Korean expats and food entrepreneurs are here to serve them.</p>
