This study examines the determinants of factors affecting game meat adoption in Japanese restaurants through preliminary interviews and a nationwide survey of 200 establishments.The interviews show that chefs' motivation for culinary expression and external factors, such as supply stability, shaped their decisions to incorporate game meat.Logistic regression analysis indicates that perceptions of food safety, consistent supply, recognition of cultural value, and preferences for quality-focused sourcing significantly boost adoption rates.Furthermore, Western-style restaurants show a greater likelihood of serving game meat.Factor analyses indicate that culinary expression stimulates adoption but supply instability and technical barriers hinder it.Internal factors motivate initiation, whereas perceptions of stability support sustained use.
