Reminds me of the saying, "When in Rome, do as the Japanese..."
Maybe not.

Definitely would prefer local cuisine than Japanese food when traveling abroad

Backpacking, London tea, well yes but I would have gone with either bacon, eggs,sausage,mushrooms,black pudding and a fried slice, or for the other end of the day, steak and kidney pudding with the meat marinaded in Porter.
On a more serious note, it is part of his job description to flog Japanese culture, cuisine and products. Supporting a locally based J chef is the sort of thing leaders of every country do, and if he arrived late and knackered he probably was glad of some home comforts.

I had a student who often traveled the world with her husband. She loved local cuisines, but her husband hated it and always stuffed his suitcase with instant Japanese food for the long haul. That being said, I often enjoy western food here in Tokyo and I am from the west, which is East of here.

Taste of Japan in Rome at half the cost.

Go abroad and eat the same food you get at home is pathetic. I used to escort non English speaking Japanese engineers and technicians all over the world and yes they stuffed their suitcases with dry Japanese foods that they could cook in their hotel rooms. When I questioned them on why they did not want to try the cuisine from the country we were working in, they replied that they did not like non Japanese food. Abe and his entourage should be seen eating Italian cuisine which is excellent. The funny thing is that when I eat out at a French or Italian restaurant in Japan the food's flavor is not authentic and tailored to the Japanese palette.
