Abstract The Japanese people have enjoyed longevity for several decades, and Japanese dietary habits are considered to contribute to this longevity. The scientific definition of the Japanese diet, however, is not yet fully established. The Working Group 1 of the Healthy Diet Research Committee of the International Life Sciences Institute Japan reviewed the literature to collect definitions of the Japanese diet appearing in articles in the fields of diet, nutrition, foods, and human health. This report addresses the definitions and the questions raised by these definitions. Among 283 relevant articles identified, 116 were carefully screened and included in the analysis. In most of the articles, the authors self-defined the Japanese diet; some studies used a government-proposed definition. This review revealed no systematic approach to define the Japanese diet from the viewpoints of nutrition and health. Before conducting studies to determine whether the Japanese diet is healthy, it is important to address the question of what the Japanese diet is from the viewpoint of human nutrition rather than culinary culture.

AbstractObjectiveGlobally, the Na consumption of most people exceeds the WHO recommendation. To be effective, salt reduction programmes require assessment of the dietary sources of Na. Due to methodological difficulties however, comprehensive assessments are rare. Here, we identified Na sources in the Japanese diet using a 4 d diet record that was specifically designed for Na source description.DesignA cross-sectional study.SubjectsApparently healthy men (n 196) and women (n 196) aged 20–69 years.SettingThe subjects were recruited from twenty-three of forty-seven prefectures in Japan.ResultsThe proportion of discretionary Na intake in total Na intake was 52·3 % in men and 57·1 % in women, and was significantly lower in younger subjects. The two major food groups contributing to Na intake were seasonings such as salt or soya sauce (61·7 % of total Na intake in men, 62·9 % in women) and fish and shellfish (6·7 % in men, 6·6 % in women). The third major contributor differed between men and women (noodles in men, 4·9 %; bread in women, 5·0 %). Further, the contribution of each food group to total Na intake differed among age groups.ConclusionsWhile individual efforts to decrease Na intake remain important, population approaches to reducing Na content in processed foods are already equally important and will assume greater importance in the future even in Japan, an Asian country facing a rapid Westernization in dietary habits.

Introduction: The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating pattern is widely used for lowering blood pressure in the United States. Food preference and intake volume are quite different among American and Japanese diet; therefore, it is necessary to develop a modified version of DASH dietary pattern for Japanese people (JDASH). Hypothesis: The JDASH is feasible, safe and effective among Japanese people. Methods: This crossover pilot study recruited Japanese men and women aged 30 years and over. Participants were randomized to a three week JDASH diet followed by a three week control diet, or the reverse sequence. Intervention periods were separated by two weeks’ washout in which participants returned to their usual diet. The JDASH dietary pattern consisted of higher potassium, magnesium, calcium, dietary fiber, and n-3 fatty acid and lower sodium than Japanese typical diet. The nutrient balance of the control diet was average Japanese diet based on the National Health and Nutrition Survey in Japan. Primary outcome of this trial was a change in 24 hour urine sodium-to-potassium (Na/K) ratios and secondary outcomes were changes in home and office blood pressure values, lipoprotein profiles and body mass index. These outcomes were from 24 hour urine and blood specimens taken measured before and on the last day of each experimental period. The impact on these measurements was calculated with generalized estimating equation model in consideration of the sequences of intervention. Results: The JDASH diet was well tolerated and with no dropouts. No participant reported any adverse effect regarding this intervention diet and no adverse effects were also observed in biological measures. There were no differences in biological measurements between two diets before intervention. A significant difference in 24 hour urine Na/K ratio was observed (-4.33 mol/mol, p<0.001) between the JDASH diet and the control diet. The differences of systolic blood pressure were - 2.1 mmHg (p=0.396) at the office and -0.1 mmHg (p=0.956) at home, respectively. Significant differences in body mass index and low density lipoprotein were -0.4 kg/m 2 (p=0.002) and -11.0 mg/dl (p=0.038), respectively. Conclusion: Developed modified DASH dietary pattern for Japanese were significantly decrease 24 hour urine Na/K ratio. In conclusion, the results of this pilot study showed the feasibility, safety and efficacy.

Japanese Diet

From the standpoint of the national legislature, the constitution of Japan which became effective on May 3, 1947, contains the following significant reforms: (1) popular sovereignty replaces the sovereignty of the emperor; (2) the Diet is the chief branch of government; (3) an elected House of Councillors supersedes the House of Peers; (4) the cabinet is responsible to the Diet; (5) the “invisible government” of crown agencies is abolished.The preamble to the new constitution begins: “We, the Japanese people, acting through our duly elected representatives in the National Diet…, do proclaim that sovereign power resides with the people.” As for the once sacred and inviolable emperor, he does “not have powers related to government,” but functions merely as “the symbol of the state and of the unity of the people, deriving his position from the will of the people with whom resides sovereign power,” performing, “with the advice and approval of the cabinet,” only such acts as promulgating laws, convoking the Diet and dissolving the House of Representatives, proclaiming general elections, attesting the appointment of officials, and awarding honors.
