“Typical Japanese diets are characterized by plant-based food, such as rice, vegetables and soybeans, and seafoods,” says Shoichiro Tsugane, director of the National Institute of Health and Nutrition. “Non-sugary beverages such as green tea are mainly consumed during and between meals.

Read More »Elements of the washoku diet fit well with an idealized food system, such as the emphasis on fresh, local and seasonal ingredients, plus the importance of the community-building rituals associated with eating together. But it’s not all positive. The “traditional” Japanese diet is changing over time — before the late nineteenth century, eating beef and bread was basically unknown, but it is ubiquitous today. This mix of foreign and domestic foodstuffs has led to a hybrid cuisine: a typical Japanese office worker might have washoku for breakfast and dinner but curry or pasta for lunch. One reason for the shift in diet is greater international trade, which became essential to feed Japan’s growing population. This has come at a cost to the nation’s food self-sufficiency ratio — the proportion consumed through domestic production — which was only 38% in 2019, down from 41% in 2008. An important reason for scrutinizing the Japanese food system is the need to reduce the environmental impact of food production and consumption, explains Steven R. McGreevy, visiting associate professor at Research Institute for Humanity and Nature (RIHN) and leader of the FEAST project, which was inaugurated as a non-profit organization in 2021. Researchers in the FEAST project found that the Japanese traditional diet had a footprint on par with or smaller than a vegetarian diet, but it faces risk from climate change. The team also suggets that the overall diet in Japan is increasingly dominated by imported and processed foods, with a larger environmental footprint for aged and urban populations than for rural populations. The researchers concluded that, in order to be sustainable, all aspects of food regulation, from government departments to land-use policies, must be integrated, and that domestic food production, which is in decline, must shift away from an industrial, monoculture-intensive production model to decentralized operations.

He notes the plethora of food and diet fads assailing consumers, some of which are based on flawed information and may be promoted by “experts” with dubious credentials. A collaborative effort by government, industry and academia is crucial to ensure that consumers receive reliable information, says Imamura. “Some regulatory actions need to take place to control infodemics — excessive amount of incorrect or exaggerated information — and so reduce the public’s exposure to harmful information. “I understand many people are trying to improve their health behaviours, but we now need collective evidence to indicate if, and to what extent, certain types of diet-related information damage public health and what actions can prevent it,” says Imamura. “Otherwise, further policy actions will be ineffective.”
