For new users, it would be easier if they can just type "japanese" to stand for "japanese-cuisine". New users can't create new tags, and rather than having them not tag the type of cuisine, a bit of automation can help. (For seasoned users, those two tags would be synonyms anyway.)

We certainly can create tag synonyms, but generally only do this when there's evidence of an ongoing problem (e.g. two tags which are nearly identical and are both frequently-used).– Aaronut ModCommented Aug 3, 2011 at 11:48

Since the tag autocompleter begins matching at japa I don't think this is really necessary, is it?
What I mean is, nobody actually needs to type "japanese-cuisine", they can just type "japa" and use their mouse to select or press tab or enter to select.
