Japanese people go to izakaya to eat fried chicken and drink at night, but there are no fat people on the street. Do you know why?

Japanese people especially like drinking after work at night. Many people drink outside from Monday to Friday. The first reason here is that most Japanese really like drinking. Although some female colleagues don't drink outside every night like male colleagues, they drink a little before going to bed at home, so there are liquor stores everywhere in Japan.

Izakaya is more about drinking, which is a place for Japanese people to contact their feelings and release their pressure after work, rather than filling their stomachs. Therefore, in general, izakaya does not provide staple food such as rice, while fried chicken is only an appetizer, and the weight is very small. If you order one, it is not as big as the original KFC chicken here. The fact is that Japanese people generally don't like fried chicken. Their favorite snacks are roast chicken skewers and Guandong cooking, which are the regular snacks in izakaya.

If you go home for dinner from Monday to Friday night, you will be looked down upon by your wife. Japanese people sometimes have to change places to drink two or three times at night, which is called "second meeting" and "third meeting", so the meeting will be held very late. To tell the truth, although the Japanese drink very little, most people in Japan drink a lot, mainly because they are good at mixing wine and can drink several kinds of wine in one night. Japanese izakaya (that is, pubs) can buy wine by the glass. The Japanese drinking habit is to unify a glass of beer first. Let's make ourselves at home after a glass of beer.

But the Japanese are really slim, and most people are not very fat. Some old people are thinner, which makes people feel a little pitiful. They are typically skinny. But most of them are healthy.

Japanese eat very little food, but they eat many varieties at once. Even a box lunch will contain many kinds of meat and vegetables, and the Japanese ingredients are super fresh, which is different in China. So they eat more comprehensive nutrition, which is also a reason for their health.

Japanese wine contains relatively few calories. Japanese mainly drink sake and shochu, as well as blended wine such as red wine. As we all know, the degree of sake in Japan is very low, only a dozen degrees, and shochu is about thirty or forty degrees. The Japanese drink a lot of ice or warm water, and a glass of shochu needs 9/ 10 water or ice, so they consume very little calories from wine. Why can they be fat?

pressure

But not all Japanese are like this. Many young people and middle-aged people are still struggling in the workplace, but this does not mean that they are not under pressure.

It is not easy for people in any country to face the accusations and complaints from their superiors every day, and at the same time, they have to kowtow to their superiors.

Mainly seafood such as fish and shrimp.

Japan is an island country. Although livestock farming is limited, at this stage, the ocean is an inexhaustible treasure house of food. Therefore, a large part of the Japanese diet is high-quality food such as fish, shellfish, shrimp and crab, which is mainly high in protein and low in fat, so it is not easy to get fat.

In addition, Japan's agriculture is also very developed, and a balanced diet is not a problem. Although its land area is much smaller than ours, its agriculture can also rank in the top ten in the world, probably seventh. Moreover, Japan's dedicated, efficient and meticulous management is vividly displayed in agriculture. The quality of local agricultural products is so high that many local Japanese ingredients are more expensive than imported ones.

Advocate "eating the original flavor"

I have two superficial impressions of Japanese food. One is that the weight is generally small, and the other is that many dishes seem to be poorly cooked and the seasoning is not so good.

Admittedly, there are few over-seasoned or over-cooked dishes in Japanese cuisine, especially in higher-end Japanese cuisine. For example, high-end ingredients such as sushi and sashimi, as well as Shihuai cuisine popular in recent years, are very exquisite and concise high-end cuisines. Although there are fried things, they are relatively restrained.

Although there are people who eat fried chicken and drink beer in izakaya, the obesity rate is very low. There are many reasons, and some friends who want to do a good job in body management can learn from them. For example: eat eight points full and eat more fresh foods, preferably fish and shrimp; Usually exercise more, often ride a bike, take a walk, walk the dog and so on.

As long as you eat healthier, exercise more and sit less, you won't get fat so easily even if you have an occasional midnight snack, string together, or get together with friends in izakaya.
