The soybean is quite popular in Japanese cuisine, as is the sweet red bean. (Adzuki).
The Avocado is NOT native to Africa, it originates in South America. It does however grow widely in Africa since it was introduced there.
Hokkein is a Japanese Noodle, so it's not really a cuisine as English speakers think it, it's just a type of Japanese dish. Cuisine = Kitchen So really saying "Hokkein Cuisine" makes no sense. I hope this answered your question!
Neither M&S or Sainsburys introduced the fruit the UK, although the first retailer to put avocado on the supermarket shelf was Sainsburys (in 1962, six years before Marks and Spencer). The avocado was first introduced to the UK in the late 17th century. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/food/article-1186938/Avocado-wars-M-S-Sainsburys-battle-introduced-fruit-first.html

Japanese cuisine varies amongst regions in that it is seasonal. Meaning, the mountains of Japan will not be making the same cuisine as a small coastal village in southern Japan. Also, the cuisine is highly based on local crops and foods of the various regions.
Japanese cuisine is varied, but a large portion is influenced by the ocean, as it itself is an island nation. However, there are some exceptions that had outside influences (e.g. ramen and curry).
Tex-Mex and Santa Fe cuisine would be lost without it, so it benefits epicurians galore.
Generally speaking, there is a close and clear link between culture and language; and also CUISINE doubtless reflects CULTURE. As such, if you want to enjoy the RICH Japanese culture and therefore cuisine,you will need to learn Japanese.
