Japanese restaurants can be one of the healthiest options when dining out, if you know your way around a menu. Japanese foods tend to have a lot of salt, so avoid foods prepared in sauces (which are typically high in sodium). If you’re hungry for traditional sushi rolls, opt for brown rice rolls or alternatively you can ask the rolls be prepared with less rice than usual.
Your best bet -
Edamame
Seaweed rolls
Sashimi (raw fish with no rice)
Fresh or steamed shellfish
Fresh tofu
Yakitori (grilled chicken, vegetables, shrimp or scallops)
Steamed green beans (ask for some sauces on the side)
Hot green teas, sake or the shochu
Stay clear of -
Foods that are baked or marinated with sauce (which tends to be very high on sugar and salt).
Deep-fried dishes such as tempura.
Always remember to eat right, there is no need for deprivation but a right balance and sensible choices can help you enjoy without getting in the way of your health regime.
