Tons of soy also. Soy sauce. Tofu. Natto .. etc ... They also aren't necessarily overly muscular or ripped in the global sense. They do have tons of little plates and diverse offerings when eating. And while they don't eat as much rice as mainland Japan, they still eat a massive amount compared to the western diet. If they eat meat, it's typically fish with pork and fish coming in a distant 2 and 3. What they do NOT eat a lot of are wheat based or beef products. They haven't jumped on the bread or noodle train as much as the mainland. And they also move around a lot. Much like in all of Japan. People in Japan aren't necessarily thinner because all of the food is "healthier", they literally just move more. They walk a ton. They stand and eat sometimes. They also have a slower lifestyle compared to mainland Japan. There are a bunch of little things that add up to BIG changes over the years. So the longest living people in the world do not throw their life away behind a desk. They do not do low carb. They do not need organic or grass-fed labels or act oil or nutritional yeast or protein powder. They eat unprocessed, local food, in balance, they work less and they move around. Pretty much the opposite of the western diet completely.
