ACNL has so many japanese food items, a zen town would be fun to make. You can make a sushi/seafood restaurant, sweets shop, noodle shop, fast food chain (kinda like MOS burger the burger chain from japan) etc. The zen bench is also cute. You can put baskets of fruit next to it :3 I'm also fond of zen-themed villager houses. One thing I would suggest not to do is to make those "classic" sweet-exterior houses because it looks a bit too gimmicky and on the nose.
I like the above poster’s idea.
But you didn’t add zen, and for that you’d add lots of seafood and noodle shops.

But of course, your signature looks like it would fit the modern theme if that’s what you like.

And I hate to say it, I’d like it to be based off of Venice.
I agree that it depends on the sort of food theme; if it's kind of sweets/dessert/candy themed I'd say Fairytale, if it's more of a city/street food/cafe vibe then modern!
