Miso soup
The most typical Japanese foods that come to mind are rice balls and miso soup. You can enjoy both of them with different ingredients, so I can eat them every day and never get tired of them. One of my friends from Australia said she didn't like the taste of miso soup, but I don't know if it's something they're not familiar with outside of Japan.
わたしの思い浮かべる代表的な日本食と言えば、おにぎりと味噌汁だと思う。どちらも具材を変えて楽しむことができるので、私は毎日食べても飽きない。オーストラリア出身の友人は、味噌汁が嫌いだと言っていたけど、日本以外では馴染みのない味なんだろうか。

One of my friends from Australia said she didn't like the taste of miso soup, but I don't know if it's something they're not familiar with. Maybe it's something that's not very common outside of Japan.
The two parts of the sentence don't connect well with 'but'. And clearly your friend is familiar with miso soup, or she wouldn't know she doesn't like it, so it makes more sense if you say it's not common. You could also say something like 'Maybe people outside Japan don't eat it often.'

One of my friends from Australia said she didn't like the taste of miso soup, but I don't know if it's something tshey're’s not familiar with outside of Japan.
In my experience, if you specify the gender of the 3rd person, you should continue specifying the gender throughout the sentence (that’s why I changed they’re to she’s).
“but I don’t know if it’s something they’re not familiar with outside of Japan” feels a little clunky to me. I understand the meaning, but I think there might be a more direct way of writing the sentence. I might suggest:
One of my friends from Australia said she didn't like the taste of miso soup, but that might be because it is an uncommon dish outside of Japan.
One of my friends from Australia said she didn't like the taste of miso soup, but it may be because people outside of Japan are unfamiliar with the dish.
