Gastronomy of Asia corresponds to a set of gastronomies associated with the countries and ethnic groups of Asia. The term is almost always used, generalizing both East Asian and Southeast Asian gastronomies. Its main channel of influence (and communication between them) is both the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. The main gastronomies of this area are the cuisines of Southeast Asia, Chinese cuisine and Japanese and Indian cuisine. In some countries the name “Asian cuisine” as in the United Kingdom comes to indicate the cuisines from South Asia: Indian cuisine.
Asia presents one of the most varied gastronomies in the world, where products such as rice, fish, vegetables, and spices are essential in the cuisine of this continent. It is a gastronomy where exotic, oriental and Hindu cuisine must be highlighted, resulting in exquisite and curious dishes, full of aroma, flavor and color.
Each Asian country has its own cuisine, each region has a certain trend, from the Southeast Asia region to East Asia.
