So is the Japanese breakfast healthier than other countries?

Adverbs of degree

So many people tell me that a Japanese breakfast is super healthy.

So in this video, I wanted to compare a typical Japanese and breakfast and compared to other breakfast is from around the world US, China, Germany and India.

Before I start, though probably worth mentioning that these examples are what people think of as typical for that country.

With so many different diocese days and ever changing eating habits, it doesn't apply to everyone.

But for all intents and purposes, and in order to make this video, I had to narrow down the typical breakfast for each country.

Also, if your country wasn't included, let me know what your typical breakfast is and how it's sex up to Japan and the other countries.

And one final note, I had to take some liberties on a few of the ingredients because they just weren't available at the local supermarket.

That all said, Let's get our breakfast on a typical Japanese breakfast.

So when you first think of a traditional Japanese at breakfast, then you start off with rice and miso soup.

This is actually it looks kind of small fits in my hand, but this is kind of like a man sighs a portion.

So the basics in the missus soup is usually have seaweed and tofu.

This one has a little bit of extra has fried tofu as well.

I mean, there's some onions in here, so this is not oh, which is a fermented soybean.

It has kind of like an interesting smell, but it is supposedly supposed to be really, really healthy for you, and with a grilled fish, you can get different types.

This one that I'm showing you right now is salmon.

But you can also get like different dried fish, so they're all very common and then also has another side.

In this case, I have some pickled radish and pickled cucumbers, so This is kind of your minimum set breakfast.

You'll notice that everything comes in these little bowls and you can kind of mix and match.

You can kind of, like, mix it up and get like different combinations, But this is kind of like the minimum that you would have in a traditional Japanese breakfast overall concept with, I think a Japanese menu is you have to have kind of like a balanced diet.

You have your proteins, you have your starch.

Also, wanna have something that's kind of easy on the stomach, so it doesn't weigh you down in the morning or throughout the day.

That's why you have, like, fermented beans.

That's why you have me so soup and surprising.

That, surprisingly, is you don't see a lot of fried food, so that's your traditional Japanese breakfast, which is going to serve as our baseline when we compare to other countries.

Go with your I wouldn't say traditional American breakfast, but I think what you would consider maybe as a typical American breakfast, you have your eggs, you have your sausage and your bacon.

You have your hash browns, you have two pieces of toast and then with some butter on the side like this literally is all brown.

If you haven't noticed, like, the first thing I see is just a lot of brown and kind of pan fried foods.

In fact, I don't see any green here without even looking at the calories.

Feels like a very heavy meal that would kind of, like sit in your stomach for a while and there's just a lot of fried food.

So you have, like the hash browns that's fried on the pan you have the bacon that's fried in the bacon itself is really fatty.

You have the sausages that are quite fatty.

Usually when you have your eggs, which also pan fried.

I mean, this is a breakfast that I would love and enjoy.

I think for a Japanese person, this would be quite heavy.

Generally don't like to have all of this fried food, but you will notice.

These days, Japanese people will eat eggs.

They will eat bread lead sausages, but we'll probably have smaller portions in general.

Okay, so this breakfast is eaten by 1.4 billion people, so it can't be bad, right?

So the first thing that strikes me is that this is a soup based breakfast.

The base itself is soy, and then it has a couple of different ingredients, like onions, and then they throw in some spicy chili oil.

There's some other vegetables in here, like this one has Pocket Chief in particular.

What's really cool is that it also comes with doughnut bread.

The whole idea of it is you take the bread itself and you dip it in to the soup and then you eat it just like this.

So comparing it Teoh a Japanese breakfast.

You do have kind of like a healthy soup with a soy based, but then you have kind of like this fried doughnut bread, which is not so healthy.

So I feel like it's a little bit heavier than a Japanese breakfast, but a lot lighter than an American breakfast.

Another thing that probably point out is, even though this soup doesn't have any like meat inside of it or fish.

The soy base is a protein, so it kind of covers your base.

You have your vegetables, you have your protein, so you know it's pretty balanced meal.

I'm not that interested in breakfast before I continue on, I wanted to give a quick shout out to our sponsor for this video.

That said, Bring on the next breakfast, the German breakfast.

The first thing that strikes me here is that again, you don't have any greens at all.

I'm sure there are people that eat greens like they have lettuce.

What you'll find that's pretty standard is you'll find bread rolls.

You'll find cheeses you'll find, like different assortment kind of meat sausages, and you even have, like a boiled egg in the mix.

What's also kind of surprising is that for a German breakfast, it's typically served cold.

I think this is kind of for that run and gun.

Get your food, make it real quick, and then go so you don't want to spend a whole lot of time, you know, just wanna, like, grab it, eat it and go compared to Japan, obviously you'll see that there's a lot of kind of red meat here, but you don't typically find in the Japanese breakfast you do spined eggs, but usually you don't find a boiled egg.

But the biggest thing is that Japanese don't have a lot of cheese and dairy and their breakfast.

So that's one thing that kind of just super stands out.

Let's let me just kind of straighten this meat out a little bit.

E think this is pretty much kind of like the standard portion size.

It looks pretty standard, but I'm sure there's people that will eat less.

And sure, there's people that will lead more.
