I find culture=* the best so far.

I find it specialised enough (compared to _type=*, origin=*, category=*,
group=* ...)
I find it accurate enough.
I find it generic enough (compared to more restrictive nationality=* and
even ethnicity=*) so that it enables tagging for ethnic group but also
other types of social group and subcultures.

cuisine=* is well established for restaurant and can be extended for
everything related to food in convenience, deli...

cuisine=ramen / cuisine:asian:japanese=ramen
cuisine=sichuan / cuisine:asian:chinese=sichuan

For clothes, hairdresser, craft, bar... I think culture=* is well suited.

culture=indian / culture:asian=indian
culture=italian / culture:western:european=italian
culture=country / culture:western:american=country
culture=grunge / culture:western=grunge
culture=shinto / culture:asian=shinto
