When I make my transition from The United States to Japan, I'll be making the transition from the country with the highest obesity rate to the one with the lowest obesity rate. American and Japanese diet is very different. While I love sushi and poky, I have a fear I might get sick of the rice. Japanese people eat 6 times the amount of rice American eat. It is an essential part of every meal including breakfast. I'm more of an oatmeal and toast kind of girl when it comes to breakfast.
Popular processed American foods are usually not available in Japan, and if they are they are very expensive. It might be possible to still eat like an American but there will be a hefty price for it. I have let it been known that I am all about living like a Japanese person and fully emerging myself in the culture, which of course includes having a Japanese diet.
Food is a topic I am especially picky about however. Not only am I a pescetarian (I do not eat any meat, besides fish), I also have a few digestive issues and allergies that prevent me from eating certain foods. I hope I do not get sick as Asian foods with heavy rice dishes often bother my stomach!
Like anything else, the body needs time to yet used to change and I bet once I get used to eating the food in Japan, I will be shipped back to the cookie and ice cream eating U.S.A.
Omoto Sensee has told me she wants me to visit Tsukiji in Tokyo becuase I can buy おいしいのすし(delicious sushi) for cheap! N0w that will be hard to resist...
