This is why the Japanese live longer in average!!

The traditional Japanese diet is said to be one of the healthiest in the world. Have you ever wondered: well, is Japanese food really that healthy? If so, why? And just what do they eat anyway?

According to UK Daily Mail in 2002, “96% fewer men suffer coronary heart disease in Japan than in Britain” AND
“Only six in 100,000 Japanese women contract breast cancer - 20 times fewer than in Britain”
The two most common causes for health problems in relation to obesity and heart diseases are animal fat and sugar.
The traditional Japanese diet does not include meat (or at least ‘red’ meat), except in rare examples and those dishes are considered as foreign dishes anyway.Traditional Japanese meals include alot of fresh vegetable, tofu, and fish, either raw or cooked in very little fat. Small portions of rice or noodle is consumed 3 meals a day.
The magic of Japan-style eating is a healthier balance of filling, delicious low calorie foods and the beautifully displayed dishes. In other words, you are also "eating with your eyes", which results in the cutting down of the speed and quantity of food consumed.

MUSASHI Japanese dining bar

MUSASHI is a a popular Japanese dining place near Central station. It is well known for it's great range of delicious foods and drinks, and also for the incredible number of customers lining up outside almost everyday. So, here are the reasons why they, (and myself) love Musashi;



The menu include all of the Japanese dishes you can think of, such as a variety of teppanyaki, sushi, sashimi, noodle and original Japanese drinks. The mains are $15 - $25 and I would strongly recommend the set meals as they are just great value for great tasting food. All cooked meat meals comes with salad, miso and rice. The sushi and sashimi deluxe set is $22 which includes miso soup, udon, salad, carlifornia rolls, eels and a choice of sashimi and sushi rolls is definitely worth to try!

The foods always comes quickly, waiters are always friendly and helpful and the environment is relaxing and clean. Not to mention there is also a nice outdoor dining area.
