The first recorded print appearance of the term "''yōshoku''" dates back to 1872. In the past, the term was for Western cuisine, regardless of the country of origin (as opposed to [[French cuisine|French]], [[English_cuisine|English]], [[Italian_cuisine|Italian]], etc.), but people became aware of differences between European cuisines and ''yōshoku'' in the 1980s, due to the opening of many European restaurants serving more authentically European (non-Japanized) food.

In 1872, Japanese writer [[Kanagaki Robun]] {{Nihongo|2=仮名垣魯文}} popularized the related term ''seiyō ryōri'' in his ''Seiyō Ryōritsū'' ('western food handbook'). ''Seiyō ryōri'' mostly refers to French and Italian cooking while ''Yōshoku'' is a generic term for Japanese dishes inspired by Western food that are distinct from the washoku tradition. Another difference is that ''seiyō ryōri'' is eaten using a knife and fork, while ''Yōshoku'' is eaten using chopsticks and a spoon.~~<ref name=nippon />~~

Earlier dishes of European origin – notably those [[List of Japanese dishes#Foods imported from Portugal in the 16th century|imported from Portugal in the 16th century]] such as [[tempura]] (inspired by the fritter-cooking techniques of the Portuguese residing in Nagasaki in the 16th century), are not, strictly speaking, part of ''yoshoku'', which refers only to Meiji-era food. However, some ''yōshoku'' restaurants serve tempura.
