This is a very common form of Orientalism.

红茶菌 is called by the Japanese name “kombucha” in English but is not Japanese, it is from China and Russia. In Japanese “kombucha” does not even refer to this drink! 红茶菌 is simply translated fungus red tea, and it is called similar in Russian.

Makes sense, thank you. 昆布 in Chinese is also a kind of kelp but not the correct word 海带, so I knew it was called by 昆布 in Japanese without knowing that the loan is common as well.

correct but the fact that its an english loanword in that context doesnt change the original point (not that i think you though that, just clarifying)
