SUMMARY:

  • The Japanese diet is low in saturated fats and salt, processed foods, sweets, and drinks that contain a lot of sugar.
  • On a regular day, a person should consume 5 to 7 grain dishes (like rice, bread, noodles, and pasta), 5 to 6 vegetable dishes of different varieties, 3 to 5 fish and meat dishes, 2 milk products (like milk and cheese), and 2 fruits.
  • In Japan, people sit down at a dining table because eating is an experience that they believe should have their full attention. As such, it’s traditional for the Japanese to enjoy their meals.
  • The Japanese diet places a focus on buying locally sourced foods. People are advised to pay attention to seasonal foods and incorporate those ingredients.
  • Every meal in Japan should be well-balanced and contain products from several food groups. For example, a typical school lunch in Japan consists of rice, meat or fish, miso soup, a glass of milk, and a piece of fruit.
  • The Japanese diet might sound restrictive to a foreigner — but not to a Japanese person. For them, variety is key! In terms of fish, they eat shrimp, trout, salmon, and tuna.
  • n Japan, a conscious attitude toward nutrition is formed in elementary school. According to Masahiro Oji, a government director of school health education, “Japan’s standpoint is that school lunches are a part of education.”
