Why do Japanese go to izakaya to eat fried chicken and drink beer so late, but there are few fat people on the street?
When I first went to study in Japan, I was surprised, too, and I realized it later. I thought that two Japanese people in izakaya had our way of eating: 10 mutton kebabs, 10 chicken gizzards, 10 pork tendons ... and a few strings of vegetarian dishes, and beer.

The waiter will definitely look at you strangely and ask, "Are you sure?" Some Japanese in the shop will also give you a "stare". After checking out, the waiter's eyes are a little scary and complicated, watching you leave like a hungry ghost.

Actually, that's not how Japanese order. Generally, each person orders one or two strings, and each person has a bottle of beer. The glass is very small. That's it!

For example, when two gentlemen were eating "roasted birds" (as they are called locally) in izakaya, they ordered two chicken skewers, two chicken skin skewers, a plate of beans, that is, edamame, a small dish (tasteless), a cold slave (mixed with tofu) and a sake (only 180ml). Nothing else. I really admire it. I won't spend half an hour solving this problem.

What's more, I met two white-collar workers more than once and ordered a plate of four skewers of meat, plus four side dishes (the weight is really small, you can finish two) and four cups of draft beer. They sat for two or three hours!

In their view, izakaya is a place to drink, chatting and gossiping is the main character, and eating kebabs is just a foil or symbol.

So, if you eat and drink at this time, I'm afraid you'll have digested it before you leave the store, let alone gained weight.

If you want to be full, you must go to Lamian Noodles's or Yoshinoya's. Of course, izakaya can also eat enough, and order a set meal (meaning ending in Japanese) with tea soaked rice and zongzi to fill his stomach.

However, few guests do this, and stores generally don't recommend it. When I was studying abroad, I worked part-time in izakaya, and the boss said that it was a shame for our store to have full guests!

Because it is a common social behavior that Japanese people can go to three izakaya at most in one night. If you are full in the first restaurant, how can you go to the next two restaurants?

As for why the store should consider it? It's actually very simple. This is the unspoken rule by default in Japanese izakaya. For example, if a guest plans to eat three restaurants, but the first one is full, the guest will get angry and won't come next time.

In Japanese school canteens, many foreign students complain that they don't have enough food. Although the price is more affordable than outside, the quantity is really small (in fact, it is similar outside). Japanese tableware is generally small and exquisite, and contains less food, such as a bowl of udon noodles, which can be eaten in a few mouthfuls.

For example, there is a lot of rice wrapped in meat. In fact, there is only half a bowl of rice, plus a circle of meat on it, plus a side dish, a bowl of soup and an egg.

There are many choices for office workers' working meals, but most people don't eat much. At the beginning, I often order some set meals, such as the classic fried rice+jiaozi+Lamian Noodles combination. Japanese people around us usually order a single meal, such as fried pork chops, side dishes and half a bowl of rice.

The staple food+staple food set meal and Lamian Noodles set meal are bigger and delicious, but they are easy to get bored. Later, it was changed to lighter foods such as salmon set meal, tofu set meal and tea soaked rice.

1, the influence of the environment and atmosphere.

Once I went to McDonald's for dinner and ordered a set meal, which contained hamburgers+French fries+a small coke, which was not enough for me to eat! So I ordered another chicken roll and a pair of chicken wings.

The clerk was obviously stunned and asked, "Do you all eat here?"

"Yes!"

Then I walked forward with food and looked around for a week. I found that I was the only one in the shop with a full plate. I sat down, found the couple opposite and ordered a set meal. This is a little awkward. I'll seal my order in a bag and go home to eat. ...

Therefore, in this environment, in order to avoid the surprises that people around you can't say, it is natural to eat less gradually.

2. Women are trying to lose weight.

Japanese women generally have a strong sense of losing weight and pay attention to body shape. I didn't make this up. You can look at the changes of Japanese women's physique (body mass index, obesity) in recent decades, and you can see at a glance that it is all the way down. Especially for people aged 20-29, the speed of decline is the most obvious, because they have entered the society and reached the stage of falling in love and getting married.

3. Develop eating habits.

The island is not rich in products, and Japan's life in ancient times was not easy. For example, before the Meiji Restoration, most people in Japan could only eat a bowl of rice with some salted fish and miso soup.

At that time, Japan taxed farmers by 40%, and farmers ate relatively simply. Even during the Tokugawa shogunate, the Japanese could eat two meals a day. So I developed a simple eating habit, and now this exquisite diet in Japan began to appear after industrialization.

In addition to the above reasons, one of the most important factors is Japan.

1, less edible oil.

In Japanese family recipes, the most common cooking methods are steaming, boiling, stewing and eating raw, which will inevitably lead to less oil. And the oil in the supermarket is also very delicate. It's usually miniature. You can only see a row of oil drain at 1.5 liters, or 2.5 liters.

Some people may disagree with this statement and want to say that there are not many fried foods in Japan, such as tempura. Isn't it greasy?

Yes, we do, but we don't eat it every day. For example, our fried dough sticks are very common, and we don't eat them all at once.

Secondly, the amount is small. There are only three shrimps in a tempura, which are covered with flour. And fried pork chops and coke cakes are one piece of a single meal, not big. And fried chicken, half of which is shredded cabbage.

2. A reasonable diet.

It refers to a light but rich lunch that pays attention to the collocation of meat and vegetables, the taste of ingredients, and less seasonings. This kind of lunch can be seen everywhere in the supermarket.

Moreover, convenience stores and shopping malls also have healthy food. All foods are marked with nutrition table and calories, which is convenient for calculating intake, such as vegetable salad, chicken breast with 0 calories, fish, fatty drinks, beer with 0 sugar and 0 purine, etc. Vending machines can be seen everywhere, as well as coffee and tea with zero sugar and zero calories.

3. Pay attention to sports.

This really started at an early age. When children go to primary school, they take part in various sports activities, such as playing football, basketball and baseball.

After work, it's endless. The unit will organize various societies. Although it seems necessary to join, not joining them often will appear unsociable.

After retirement, some elderly people will also choose some leisure activities.

Therefore, in Japan, fitness facilities and sports awareness are very popular, and fewer people are naturally fat.

4. Compulsory health check-up: Japanese statutory compulsory units must pay for the health check-up of employees every year, and then the doctor gives advice. A colleague, overweight 10 kg, was severely called by Japanese doctors to lose weight!

Why is it necessary to have a compulsory medical examination?

I think it can reduce the labor force (sudden death and so on). Moreover, many people in Japan are still working at the age of 60, so the annual test can make people of this age still have the ability to work, which is equivalent to bringing additional benefits to society.

I have worked in Japan for more than six years and have dealt with the Japanese for more than ten years. Indeed, as the subject said, Japanese people especially like to drink after work at night, and many people drink outside from Monday to Friday. The first reason here is that most Japanese really like drinking. Although some female colleagues don't drink outside every night like male colleagues, they drink a little before going to bed at home, so there are liquor stores everywhere in Japan. Second, many Japanese people use this as a social way. If they go home for dinner from Monday to Friday night, they will be looked down upon by their wives. Japanese people sometimes have to change places to drink two or three times at night, which is called "second meeting" and "third meeting", so the meeting will be held very late. To tell the truth, although the Japanese don't have enough alcohol, most of them can drink a lot, mainly because they are good at mixing wine and drink several kinds of wine in one night. Japanese izakaya (that is, pubs) can buy wine by the glass. The Japanese drinking habit is to unify a glass of beer first. Let's make ourselves at home after a glass of beer. But the Japanese are really slim, and most people are not very fat. Some old people are thinner, which makes people feel a little pitiful. They are typically skinny. However, most of them are very healthy and generally live a long life. Basically, the incidence of "three highs", cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is not as high as that in China. There are many reasons for this phenomenon:

The main reason is eating. The Japanese eat very little. In fact, there is a lot of fat in Japanese cuisine, including fat sausage hot pot, which is particularly fat. The large pieces of meat added to Japanese noodles are basically half thin and half fat. But they all eat very little. It is no exaggeration to say that a home-cooked dish can be divided into ten parts in Japan. In izakaya, two centimeters long green onions are strung together and then baked. Two strings are a dish. When I first arrived in Japan, I was really not used to it. Many Japanese friends invited me to drink together in the evening. The food they ordered was too flattering to move chopsticks. According to the habit of eating vegetables in China, a dish is basically gone with chopsticks. Once a domestic leader went to Japan on a business trip, and the Japanese invited him to eat the highest-end Shi Huai Cai. As a result, a prawn actually cooked two dishes, a fried shrimp head and a shrimp soup. The leader who used to drink Chinese food and wine felt uncomfortable after eating Japanese food, and immediately asked us to take him to a Chinese restaurant for a "second meeting".

Japanese food is more expensive, so Japanese people don't order many dishes. Their wives gave them all the money for drinking and they all planted flowers. Basically, I always drink at night and seldom eat vegetables. In fact, it's not that Japanese people don't like to eat when they eat less, mainly because the price is too expensive. Because when many Japanese come to China to invite them to eat Chinese food, they will eat a lot, and they will say it is delicious. Even the chicken feet and duck feet that are not eaten at all in Japan are full of praise.

Many Japanese eat less not only for dinner, but also for breakfast. There is a Japanese colleague in his thirties who often eats a jelly for breakfast. When I first arrived in Japan, as a northerner who often eats and drinks, I was really not used to it. I'm hungry at five o'clock every afternoon, so I need to secretly add some rice in the office. Of course, I'll get used to it after half a year. There is a domestic colleague who often travels between China and Japan. Every time he goes to Japan, he will lose weight for a month and gain weight after returning home for half a month.

In addition to Japanese eating less, Japanese cooking oil is also very light. Japanese blended oil is basically only a little thicker than mineral water. It looks like a drink, and many sticky substances in it have been filtered out. The range hood is very easy to clean, and of course, eating it in people's stomachs will not increase the oil and water in their stomachs.

Japanese eat very little food, but they eat many varieties at once. Even a box lunch will contain many kinds of meat and vegetables, and the Japanese ingredients are super fresh, which is different in China. So they eat more comprehensive nutrition, which is also a reason for their health.

Japanese wine contains relatively few calories. Japanese mainly drink sake and shochu, as well as blended wine such as red wine. As we all know, the degree of sake in Japan is very low, only a dozen degrees, and shochu is about thirty or forty degrees. The Japanese drink a lot of ice or warm water, and a glass of shochu needs 9/ 10 water or ice, so they consume very little calories from wine. Why can they be fat?

In fact, as far as most Japanese people are concerned, they don't have much time for exercise and sports. Basically, many people don't exercise from Monday to Friday, but only exercise on weekends. Therefore, the main reason why Japanese people are not fat is that they eat less, which is an inspiration to some overweight people in China: long-term continuous dieting and attention to diet structure are really beneficial to lose weight.

Because oil is serious oil and wine is serious wine. Eat less calories at home.

you think

Two Japanese people are eating in izakaya like Jinan barbecue:

After eating, I counted more than 200 strings. I drank eight bottles of wine.

Actually:

Two big men.

Take draft beer, the kind of 600 yen.

Send four side dishes for free, and the plates add up to a little bigger than the palm of your hand. (Update: Many friends pointed out that side dishes are charged, so please pay attention here)

Then each person has four strings, a string of chicken hearts, a string of chicken shallots, a string of mushrooms and a string of bacon.

Two people brag with beer+talk about women+gossip. This can last for three hours.

To tell the truth, I can't get fat, and the calories consumed by talking can't make up for it.

Because Japanese people generally don't eat much, their eating habits basically form a healthy balance, and they seldom overeat.

If you often watch Japanese dramas, you will also find that many Japanese office workers or students buy a bread or sandwich at noon and add a box of milk for Chinese food. Even if you bring a lunch box at noon, the staple food rice inside is at most the size of a rice ball.

Japanese cuisine does not pay attention to heavy oil and salt, but emphasizes the original flavor and lightness of ingredients. In addition, if the staple food intake is less, it will naturally be difficult to gain weight!

Young Japanese office workers are under great pressure!

Izakaya is more about drinking, which is a place for Japanese people to contact their feelings and release their pressure after work, rather than filling their stomachs. Therefore, in general, izakaya does not provide staple food such as rice, while fried chicken is only an appetizer, and the weight is very small. If you order one, it is not as big as the original KFC chicken here. The fact is that Japanese people generally don't like fried chicken. Their favorite snacks are roast chicken skewers and Guandong cooking, which are the regular snacks in izakaya.

Things are too expensive, so when izakaya drinks, he actually eats very little. Will he be fat? A Japanese client of mine drove to China, and I invited him to help himself. He ate ten abalones at a time and gained more than ten catties in less than a month. Why? Don't spend your own money!

I have been to izakaya, experienced a cabin of 10 square meters, experienced a semi-old Xu Niang in his forties, and experienced several frustrated office workers. After work, I have nowhere to go (going home early means I can't hang out and lose face), and I don't have much pocket money (all of it is given to my daughter-in-law), so I can only pass the time in izakaya.

There is only one glass of wine and two or three dishes of side dishes, the size of a steamed stuffed bun. If you can't eat it all at once, you can only eat it with chopsticks, so you can mix it for two or three hours.

I don't know. Kong Yiji knows. The dishes are all the same. Do you think Lao Kong will get fat?

Because Japanese people's living habits are very different from ours, there is actually nothing difficult to understand, and it is not out of what is called a healthy diet.

At present, the involution in Japan is very serious, and people in the workplace are under great pressure and often need to work overtime until late, so many people habitually go to izakaya for a rest after work.

First, how do young people say that in Japan, the "seniors" in the workplace have more power. In their workplace culture, subordinates need to obey their superiors absolutely.

Therefore, many young people in Japan are beginning to "grieve more than die" and are unwilling to work in the company for a long time, but work intermittently for a short time.

For example, working in a convenience store for a few days, and then playing at home for a few days, after all, for many Japanese young people, in the face of class solidification, their efforts have achieved nothing.

It is better to choose not to struggle directly, muddle along every day, save money constantly, and even lose the desire to get married, and start thinking about life after being old from a young age.

They dare not spend money, do not want to go to work, and immerse themselves in their own world every day.

Second, pressure, but not all Japanese do. Many young people and middle-aged people are still struggling in the workplace, but this does not mean that they are not under pressure.

It is not easy for people in any country to face the accusations and complaints from their superiors every day, and at the same time, they have to kowtow to their superiors.

So how to reduce this pressure? As the saying goes, Du Kang is the only one who can relieve his worries. Of course, have a drink after work to get rid of the fatigue of the day.

But the way they eat in izakaya is different from ours. We usually call three or five friends, order a big table of dishes, and drink while eating, and the heat is bursting.

Their purpose is to reduce stress, usually by ordering a glass of wine and then eating a few barbecues, or cooking in Guandong and eating casually.

So the influence on the body shape is not too great.

Third, in fact, the pressure of life not only leads to their mental negativity, but also leads to their bodies being wasted by this low-calorie intake.

So, I don't think it's because of the deliberately controlled body shape. I think it's obviously a kind of weight loss caused by excessive pressure. Maybe those "handsome guys" who look handsome in the street.

There is pain behind us that we don't know.

Although we have different feelings and ways of looking at Japan, we still have to admit some facts. Japan is indeed a somewhat "magical" country. For example, Japan is one of the best countries in the world in terms of garbage sorting, frugality and life expectancy.

Friends who have been to Japan may indeed find that fat people with big bellies are rarely seen on the streets of Japan, which is completely different from some relatively developed European and American countries. So let's solve this problem this time. Why do Japanese go to izakaya to eat fried chicken and drink beer so late, but there are few fat people on the street? What is the secret to make them "eat fat"?

First of all, as usual, ask "why" and confirm "whether" first. Are there really few fat people in Japan? In the past, when we answered questions, we may have come to a conclusion in the link of confirming the truth and falsehood. For example, the question "Why can't spinach be eaten with tofu?" Obviously, the problem itself is not a fact, so it is not a problem. But this time, the description of "why there are few fat people in Japan" is different. This is indeed a fact.

So it is true that the question part of the topic is established, and there are really few fat people in Japan. In addition, Japanese food culture is also world-famous, and all kinds of izakaya are really common, so this topic can be confirmed. Then let's get to the question. What causes Japanese people to be less fat?

A reasonable diet structure largely determines a person's body shape and health. Although there are many izakaya in Japan, not many people actually eat fried chicken and drink beer. Japanese people's daily eating habits are one of the key factors for their longevity and little obesity.

1, mainly seafood such as fish and shrimp.

Japan is an island country. Although livestock farming is limited, at this stage, the ocean is an inexhaustible treasure house of food. Therefore, a large part of the Japanese diet is high-quality food such as fish, shellfish, shrimp and crab, which is mainly high in protein and low in fat, so it is not easy to get fat.

In addition, Japan's agriculture is also very developed, and a balanced diet is not a problem. Although its land area is much smaller than ours, its agriculture can also rank in the top ten in the world, probably seventh. Moreover, Japan's dedicated, efficient and meticulous management is vividly displayed in agriculture. The quality of local agricultural products is so high that many local Japanese ingredients are more expensive than imported ones.

2. A variety of ways to eat.

Although China has a vast territory, rich products and a wide variety of ingredients, Japanese food is more diverse in a short time. Our dietary guidelines for residents (20 16) suggest that people should consume more than 12 kinds of ingredients every day and at least 25 kinds of ingredients every week. However, the Guide to Healthy Eating and Living published in Japan 1985 recommends that people should eat 30 kinds of ingredients every day, and this gap still exists.

Moreover, this statement of "30 kinds of ingredients every day" is widely circulated in Japan and has a deep influence. Many housewives who run a family life use this as a criterion to arrange the food content of the whole family for a day, which is also the reason why many Japanese meals are few, because there are many kinds to eat.

More varied and abundant food intake not only contributes to nutritional supplement and health, but also is certainly less likely to gain weight than a relatively simple or high-fat and high-carbon water diet.

3. The diet in izakaya is different from that in Luchuan and food stalls.

The significance of izakaya's existence is exactly the same as that of many barbecue stalls and food stalls, but the way of eating is different.

There will be some kebabs and side dishes in izakaya, but it is different from our way of "10 kebabs, 2 Jin of crayfish, two big kidneys", and the quantity they order and the weight of the dishes are very small. For example, the general "roast bird" is a barbecue with various parts of chicken as raw materials. Three or two skewers of roasted birds with vegetarian dishes, the last bottle of beer or a little soju is enough.

Moreover, the customers in izakaya are mostly male office workers, which is also an occasion for them to concentrate on entertainment, socializing and communication after work. So sometimes it's not surprising to go to three or two different izakaya in one night. Naturally, it is impossible to eat too much and be too full in one place. After all, the process of communication and emotional release is the key, and eating, drinking and drinking are not so important.

Second, the food culture worth learning. Although Japan belongs to the same Asian country as us and is deeply influenced by China culture, especially in the Tang Dynasty, there are still many differences in the details of some modern food cultures.

1, advocating "eight points full"

I believe that many people who come into contact with Japanese food for the first time will always have a sigh, that is, "when can I eat enough with such a small portion?" Many Japanese people eat not only super small dishes, but also very little food. As mentioned above, it is mainly because you can eat more kinds of food at one meal.

The Japanese not only eat less per serving, but also relatively restrain their appetite, and even advocate eating "eight points full". This is not just a verbal conversation. They even have a specialty store with the theme of "eight points full (eight points belly)". In some places, there is a proverb "eight points in the stomach, doctor, doctor, doctor", which is similar to "eight points in the stomach, no doctor".

With this awareness and habit of "it is best to eat eight points full", you will naturally not get fat easily. According to some statistics in previous years, the probability of obesity caused by diet in Japan is about 1.5%.

2. Advocate "eating the original flavor"

I have two superficial impressions of Japanese food. One is that the weight is generally small, and the other is that many dishes seem to be poorly cooked and the seasoning is not so good.

Admittedly, there are few over-seasoned or over-cooked dishes in Japanese cuisine, especially in higher-end Japanese cuisine. For example, high-end ingredients such as sushi and sashimi, as well as Shihuai cuisine popular in recent years, are very exquisite and concise high-end cuisines. Although there are fried things, they are relatively restrained.

The familiar tempura is pure fried food, but the practice in Japan is slightly different. The important thing is that the batter must be very thin, just right to lock the taste and moisture of food, but not thick or greasy. Tempura made by experts will not leave obvious oil stains on paper.

Generally speaking, the closer the food is to the raw materials, the lower the processing level. In most cases, it has the least burden on the body and is more conducive to health.

3. Advocate "freshness first"

Although Japanese cuisine is well-known internationally, it rarely develops salted foods such as bacon, ham and kimchi, and the Japanese pay more attention to fresh ingredients.

In fact, this is mainly because it is an island country with relatively simple climatic conditions and a small initial population, so it also lacks the necessary conditions for developing pickled food culture from all angles. Fresh ingredients are less likely to cause obesity than high-salt foods, and long-term consumption of high-salt foods is also a major cause of hypertension.

To some extent, Japanese people live longer because they are more inclined to eat fresh ingredients. It is reported that if a Japanese moves to another country for a long time and completely changes his eating habits, his life expectancy will be significantly and greatly reduced.

Third, a strong sense of health. While the economy is developed, the average amount of exercise of Japanese people is actually not bad. Although they can be ranked in the top five of the "least athletic countries", they love cycling. At one time, the number of bicycles in Japan ranked first in Asia and the top three in the world. Many people don't take a bus if they can. Of course, this is also because Japan is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, and it is more convenient to travel by bike. Moreover, the land is narrow and the population is dense, which leads to the perfect supporting construction of its urban communities. It takes 5 to 10 minutes by bike to reach supermarkets, convenience stores, schools, food streets and other places needed in daily life.

Therefore, although Japanese people don't love sports so much, they exercise a lot in their daily lives. After all, even if you try to keep balance when you squeeze the subway, it is a kind of heat consumption, and it is not so easy to get fat after comprehensive consideration.

Finally, a brief summary is made. Although there are people who eat fried chicken and drink beer in izakaya, the obesity rate is very low. There are various reasons for this, and some friends who want to do a good job in body management can learn from it. For example: eat eight points full and eat more fresh foods, preferably fish and shrimp; Usually exercise more, often ride a bike, take a walk, walk the dog and so on.

As long as you eat healthier, exercise more and sit less, you won't get fat so easily even if you have an occasional midnight snack, string together, or get together with friends in izakaya.

The Japanese never treat themselves badly when they eat this food, because they can't afford it because they are poor. Japan has been the world's second largest economic power and the third largest exporter and importer since the late 1960s, so the Japanese are not poor and have such good conditions. Why are there so few fat people on the streets of Japan? I will answer from three aspects. By the way, in fact, Japanese people don't like fried chicken, and they don't choose beer and fried chicken when they go to pubs to drink.

Japanese people have the habit of drinking in pubs. At first, they will drink a small glass of draught beer to moisten their throat, and then choose sake according to their own tastes. Sake is a kind of wine that Japanese people must drink when they go to pubs. Japanese sake is different from Chinese liquor. Japanese sake is mainly brewed wine, which is fermented with rice, koji and water. The degree is not high, about 15 degrees, and the taste is light and not strong. China's liquor is mainly distilled liquor, with a high degree.

Sake tastes elegant but not strong, so Japanese people will not choose high-calorie and heavy-tasting staple foods in appetizers. Generally speaking, Japanese people like sake best with light foods such as seafood sashimi, sushi, peanuts and cucumber strips. Japanese seldom eat high-calorie foods such as fried chicken and kebabs, because it will spoil the taste of sake. And eating mutton kebabs is delicious and salty, and it costs money for drinks. You should know that the food in Japanese pubs is quite expensive, so going to pubs is mostly slow, and a small dish of peanuts can be drunk for three hours.

Why are there so few fat people on the streets of Japan? As we said before, Japanese people drink mainly light food in pubs, and they don't want us to drink beer boldly like us. They pay attention to health, and drinking in pubs is mainly a way of atmosphere chat, not for drinking and eating meat.

The sushi and seafood sashimi they usually eat are dipped in soy sauce or mustard and will not be fried, so the consumption of oil and salt is very small, and the content of seafood and sushi is also very small. They are basically from protein, so that's why Japanese people gain weight.

Then why don't Japanese like fried chicken? As I said before, Japanese people mainly eat light food, because habits are hard to change. Friends who have been to Japan know that fried chicken is not popular in Japan, and few Japanese choose to eat fried chicken when they go back. Compared with fried chicken, Japanese prefer fried Haichang fish, which has a high protein and is not easy to get fat.

Imagine, people who often focus on a light diet will drink beer with fried chicken? Obviously not. Of course, Japan also eats fried chicken. Generally, people in the workplace who are under too much pressure will use beer and fried chicken to decompress. This kind of situation is generally rare. Because people in the workplace know how to maintain their health better, they will eat fried chicken, but they eat less.

The scarcity of fat people on the streets of Japan is also related to a situation. I believe everyone can see that the consumption in Japan is expensive and the quantity of food is small. Most Japanese restaurants are like this: the price is expensive and the quantity is small.

If you go to Japan with five friends to eat seafood sashimi, you may not have enough to eat for 3000 yuan. Food consumption is expensive, and Japanese people will naturally exercise restraint when eating. As time goes by, their food intake will decrease, which is also the reason why Japanese people are not fat.

Conclusion:

Finally, I think the reason why there are so few fat people on the streets of Japan is related to Japanese eating habits, which can be divided into three parts: first, Japanese people usually have a light diet and pay attention to health; Second, the Japanese mainly live on seafood and don't like high-calorie fried food; Third, Japan's consumption is expensive, food is scarce, and people's appetite is small.
