Probably yes and no. In alternate worlds they don't want to out right say Japan. So they call it wano kuni or land of harmony which is pretty much Japan. Same as like in one piece, there is a country called land of harmony which is a copy and paste of japan

Tbf, if you're in a world where ppl are hunting monsters and someone as young as Fina can deconstruct it (tho surprised there wouldn't' also be magical knives and stuff lol), something that's like a cafe/restaurant would be better. Esp if some were living as an orphan (well the fish girl was working in her dad's restaurant so she already had a passion for cooking before) before though there are some good looking dishes b/c ppl like aesthetic as well, wouldn't be surprised if there were some Kuma pop up cafe events or so
Plus Yuna's there to beat up any crappy customers /shot

Because Japan prides itself in its food and food service. Above all else. That's why they'll showcase it in anime, manga, or even video games like the Yakuza series.
There's a reason why so many Michelin Stars belong to the Japanese.

I think there is good synergy there. Her physical adventures give her opportunities and inspiration for economic adventures.Yuna with her entrepreneurs skill never fail to amaze me, she should quit adventuring and become full businesswoman
In this fantasy world, there is a far-away country of Wa, that is said to be similar to our world's Japan. That's where MC gets her rice and soy sauce.

I wonder if in the end she will invent VRMMORPGs so that she would be able to play them.

I'm guessing this "Wa" country is from the LN since I have no recollection of them bringing it up in the manga, they mentioned the food when Yuna first got to Mireera but I don't think they mentioned the name, just that the dishes were "from over seas".

Yeah. Its mentioned in the "official" seven seas manga translation too, just not in the Infrequent Scans version (which as you say just says "from a land like japan" prior to her kiling the kraken, or "from overseas" during the bamboo harvesting arc)
Wa is important as there is a multi-book arc set there starting at light novel vol 18...
"Japanese office work simulator: stock trading edition"
Waiting on seeing how the swimsuits Sherry makes for everyone appear in the manga version

...Yeah, it is the 100th. Thinking about that, I'm kinda surprised this wasn't more... I dunno, impactful for such a milestone. Like maybe Yuna coming across the people she's helped out just by being in the world. And not just those she surrounds herself with, but people who have gotten better lives because of her. Something like that, you know?100th!

Fair enough. Although the opening of the bear diner is sorta a milestone, they HAVE re-ordered the events in the original novel quite a bit, so they could have moved up something else.
