@goodhunter , consider this: soy sauce was only invented once. In all other countries, soy sauce became available only because it was exported from there. Europe and both Americas never invented anything quite like it.
Many old-timey societies weren't particularly interested in invention and didn't have research institutes. Especially when it came to food - few people would willingly eat suspicious food. Invention was a matter of luck, desperation, and it catching on.
Isekai MCs usually have excess of resources that might be even more than that of a local noble, since they have adventuring income, impressive magic powers, few wasteful habits, and no responsibilities. As a result, they can be a one-man research institute similar to Leonardo Da Vinci. Their superior education and desire for things out of this world surely help there.
Next, yes, travelers from other lands (or people returning from other lands) starting new trends was a quite common occurrence when people started seriously traveling. It makes perfect sense for isekai MCs to be like that too. At least, in any world that didn't have its Age of Exploration yet. Exploration and international trade is really hindered by all the monsters that inhabit game-like fantasy worlds.
@Elmithian , @Sliiime - pretty good guess. I don't remember if it was in the manga, but when goddess of creation thought about using her powers to create some Japanese food, Wind God had to restrain her, because it would cause cataclysms all over the world. I guess elemental gods using their powers aren't a joke either.
Normally, they have to act through their representatives on the ground, like Kaizer and Takumi. And for some reason, there is a severe lack of those. Maybe living in god realm is just that much more comfortable?
