From Matcha to Ramen: Food Trends Shaped by Social Media
Last Updated: From Matcha tea and chilli oils to ramen and chia seed puddings: How social media is shaping the way we discover food In a world where a scroll can transport us from a Tokyo ramen bar to a Sicilian gelato stand, social media has emerged as the new frontier for food discovery. Platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and now even WhatsApp Channels have transformed how we encounter flavours, recipes, and dining experiences. With every tap, swipe, and story view, digital platforms are not just showcasing food—they are actively shaping what and how we eat. Gone are the days when discovering a new cuisine meant stumbling upon a restaurant or relying solely on word-of-mouth. Today, food often reaches our screens before it ever reaches our plates. 'With the rise in access to different social media platforms, especially Instagram pages of creators, restaurants, and chefs, people now see a dish before they even know its name," says Sagar Merchant, Founder of Kaatil. 'This global exposure demystifies foreign cuisines and local dishes and encourages cultural tastings." Indeed, the visual-first nature of platforms like Instagram and Pinterest plays a critical role in tempting users to explore new culinary horizons. A single reel can make Korean corn dogs go viral in Mumbai or put chilli crisp oil on the must-have list of every home chef. Merchant explains that this dynamic has changed the way people interact with food. 'Local influencers, food bloggers, and independent restaurants are playing a crucial role in this shift. By serving as the torchbearers of authenticity and innovation, they are bringing both new and old food formats to the spotlight," he adds. This evolution has given rise to a phenomenon now being called FOODMO—a playful spin on FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), but centered on food trends. Merchant points out how dishes like dalgona coffee, matcha tea, and trending desserts like Japanese souffle pancakes owe much of their popularity to the viral power of social media. 'The demand sparked by digital trends has influenced everything—from restaurant menus to what gourmet retail stores and quick commerce platforms stock." One such example is matcha, which has moved from a ceremonial Japanese tea to a modern-day wellness staple, thanks in large part to digital storytelling. 'Social media has quietly but powerfully shaped how Indian consumers discover and experience matcha," says Ishvani Patel, founder and CEO, ILEM JAPAN. 'At ILEM JAPAN, platforms like Instagram and YouTube have helped us introduce matcha not just as a tea, but as a mindful lifestyle choice." From matcha lattes to chia seed puddings, Patel notes that short-form content and influencer collaborations have made the ingredient more approachable. 'Rather than riding a trend, we have focused on storytelling that reflects matcha's authenticity and its relevance to contemporary wellness goals," she explains. 'Social media has enabled us to spark curiosity and create an emotional connection, positioning matcha as both aspirational and accessible in today's fast-evolving food culture." The trend is clear: social media isn't just a mirror to what's popular—it's a megaphone amplifying what's next. Whether it's a street food revival, a gourmet comeback of nostalgic flavours, or a niche superfood becoming mainstream, platforms are empowering both creators and consumers to experiment, engage, and elevate their culinary journeys. As FOODMO continues to shape what ends up in our shopping carts and on our tables, one thing is certain—your next favourite flavour might just be one reel away.

The real myth behind Naruto's nine-tailed fox Kurama explained
How Japanese folklore inspired one of anime's most iconic characters Naruto Uzumaki is a global anime character royalty. Behind all those crazy battles and high-energy jutsus, there's a richer story based in actual Japanese mythology—particularly when it comes to Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Fox sealed within him. This mystical beast may seem like pure fantasy, but it's based on real-life legends that stretch back for centuries. Here's how those real-world myths helped sculpt Kurama and the hidden meaning behind Naruto's powers Who is Kurama? The nine-tailed fox in Naruto In Naruto, Kurama is one of the nine 'Tailed Beasts' formed from the chakra of a legendary creature known as the Ten-Tails. These tailed beasts are massive, sentient chakra monsters with various abilities and personalities. Naruto was born with Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Fox, sealed in him. In the short run, this allowed him to incite fear and hatred nationwide. As the series progressed, Naruto grew closer to Kurama, and the two eventually learned to work in tandem to become one of the most powerful pairings in the ninja world. What is a tailed beast (Bijuu)? In the context of the anime, tailed beasts are weapons of war that villages use to fight one another and dominate their enemies. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Yet, at the same time, they are loved, known, and deeply steeped in history. Perhaps the most powerful of them all is Kurama, who is a nine-tailed fox with an incredible reserve of chakra (energy). Naruto is what they call a 'Jinchuriki,' a person who literally bears a tailed beast inside them. This potent magic had extraordinary power but came at the expense for him and Kurama of pain, trepidation, and solitude until he gained Kurama's trust. Kurama's real-life mythical origins Kurama, like many aspects of the show, is inspired by Japanese culture. His character is modeled after the kitsune, a fox-spirit from Japanese mythology. In Japanese mythology, kitsune are highly intelligent supernatural foxes that can shape-shift into human beings. They're not good or bad, they have potential for good and evil, and it all depends on what you do to them. Fox spirits are prevalent in East Asian folklore, not only in Japan. In Korea, they're known as gumiho, and in China, huli jing. The Korean gumiho is typically portrayed as a malevolent force in television and folklore. Each and every aspect of Kurama is drawn from reality— even the name 'Kurama' is derived from a real location—Mount Kurama in Japan. It is thought to be a spiritual mountain, residence of strong spirits, and energy healing (Reiki), which is connected to Naruto's chakra-based healing abilities. Symbolism behind Naruto and Kurama's bond In past tales, foxes and people often shared deep bonds. That's exactly what happens in Naruto with Kurama. Through their mutual adversity, their hate morphs into respect, and eventually, into real camaraderie and teamwork. When Kurama thought he was the mightiest of all the tailed beasts, this created envy — particularly from Shukaku, the One-Tail. This harkens back to an ancient myth in which foxes (kitsune) and tanuki are enemies. It's a natural complement to the rivalry between Naruto and Gaara in the anime. Why does Naruto have whisker marks? Naruto's whisker-like birthmarks don't just appear out of thin air. They manifested because he was inundated with Kurama's chakra even while in his mother's womb. That early exposure took an irrevocable toll on him—even before Kurama was sealed inside. Other Jinchuriki are given physical traits that complement their tailed beasts. Additionally, Gaara has never been seen without raccoon-like eyes. Yugito Nii can be identified by her cat ears and tail. These designs go a long way to make the human characters feel connected to the mythological creatures they bear. Naruto was almost a fox himself Here's an additional fun fact to go with that. In the original Naruto manga pilot, Naruto was actually the Nine-Tailed Fox in human form! Masashi Kishimoto subverted that notion when he created the character further down the line, but remnants can still be found, such as his attitude, liveliness, and those signature whiskers. Kurama is more than just a monster Kurama isn't simply a magical monster, arguably one of the best in anime. He's the fourth of a long line of Asian-inspired myth, magic, and mystery. From ancient fox spirits to chakra healing and shape-shifting lore, Kurama's journey is a contemporary iteration of stories as old as time itself. Thanks to Naruto, millions of fans around the world have been introduced to a fascinating piece of Japanese mythology, often without them knowing it.
