I was slightly worried about eating well and feeling good while traveling, but Japan made it easy
(I know it’s not brown rice- but sometimes you have to enjoy what’s available 😊)

Yeah, Japan has a good variety of relatively healthy food. As long as you don’t overdo it with the okonomiyaki or katsudon, you’re pretty much fine. A lot of Ramen places are customizable, so it doesn’t necessarily have to be a calorie bomb either.

White rice is not a problem. As long as you pair it with healthy food and I see you have it on your plate

Now you understand why Japan still has an obesity rate under 5%. The average person in Japan has a MUCH healthier diet than the average person in the US. Eating a substantial amount of vegetables every day is considered normal there.
Although Japan is nowhere near the Mediterranean, its diet is basically a Mediterranean diet with different foods but the same basic food groups.

The Okinawan diet is comparable to Mediterranean any day as far as benefits.
