In the paper, through a detailed and informative analysis of research and various scientific literature, the links between Japanese and Mediterranean food culture are shown. Japanese and Mediterranean food culture are characterized by links such as: seasonality and diversity of foods, diversity of diet, longevity of the population, nutritional richness and health benefits of food. Japanese and Mediterranean culture are indicators of the gold standard of proper nutrition. Both cultures have: a unique lifestyle, a set of rules for table manners, a culture of drinks, foods and dishes that can serve as a model for other world cultures. Due to the large number of health benefits and for the sake of a positive and healthy standard of living, many world organizations such as UNESCO and WHO (World Health Organization) have started to promote these two types of culture as an indicator of a healthy lifestyle. The links for which these two cultures set the best example for other cultures are hospitality and attaching great importance to strong family relationships. Mediterranean and Japanese food culture are characterized by originality and simplicity. In both cultures we can see special rites, ceremonies and showing respect for food. Cultivating these cultures can lead to various entrepreneurial opportunities and ideas. Through a detailed SWOT analysis, the idea of creating a Japanese-Mediterranean restaurant is presented, and the goal is to study the profitability of introducing this type of restaurant in order to improve the gastronomic offer on the market.
